Abstract

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of increased calcium consumption on obesity prevention and control. Methods:
Thirty three women, low-calcium consumers (<800mg/day), aged 18-42 years, BMI 27.72 +1.14 kg/m² and body fat 42.61+1.03% participated in this 45 consecutive days (6 weeks), parallel design study. Subjects were randomly allocated in one of the experimental groups: low calcium (control (LC)) or high calcium (calcium citrate (CIT) or skim milk (SM)). Breakfast (LC:0mg of calcium/day, CIT and SM:~700mg/day) was consumed in the laboratory. Hypocaloric diets (-500kcal/day; 800mg of calcium/day (C) or 1500 mg of calcium/day (CIT and SM)) were prescribed. Fasting blood samples, body fat, anthropometric and biochemical parameters were assessed on days 1 and 45. Food intake was assessed in the first, third, and last weeks. Results:
There was a significant reduction in serum uric acid concentration in SM, and in ionized calcium in SM and CIT compared to C. Body fat (total, trunk, and android) and waist circumference significantly reduced in the SM group. Weight loss was 119% and 100% higher in the SM group compared to LD and CIT groups, respectively. Energy, macronutrients, and fiber intakes did not differ between-group.
