Physical activity and calcium modalities for bone mineral increase in aged women
Abstract
SMITH, EVERETT L., JR., WILLIAM REDDAN, and PATRICIA E. SMITH. Physical activity and calcium modalities for bone mineral increase in aged women. Med. Sci, Sports Exercise, Vol. 13, No. 1, pp. 60–64, 1981. This study tested the hypothesis that physical activity and/or supplemental calcium (0.75 g/day) and vitamin D (400 IU) would effectively slow bone loss, and/or increase bone mineral content (BMC) in aged females (V = 81) over three years. In vivo BMC and width of the radius was determined by photon absorptiometry at two sites. Four groups were formed: a control, a drug, a physical activity, and a physical activity plus drug. A single tailed t-test was used to compare the slope of the linear regression of 10 data points collected on each subject. The BMC of the control group declined 3.29%, while the physical activity group and drug group demonstrated a 2.29% (p<.05) increase and a 1.58% (p<.07) increase respectively, during the study.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
