J Bone Miner Res (epub July 1) Health Benefits of Higher Dietary Calcium Intakes Khan B et al., J Bone Miner Res 15;3:175- Effects of Calcium on Myocardial Infarction Numerous large studies of Ca plus vitamin D have shown no increased risk of cardiovascular events However, concern exists that MI risk is increased Food remains the best source of calcium Supplements should be used only when adequate dietary Ca intake cannot be achieved Beneficial effects of calcium are found with relatively low doses (5- mg) In almost every osteoporosis treatment RCT, adequate Ca and vitamin D were also required Elderly individuals and others with impaired renal function who take calcium supplements may be at higher risk of CVD 3

A brisk walk at lunchtime or gardening are examples of being physically active outdoors Tailoring Therapy- Which Option for Who? First-line drugs for osteoporosis are anti-resorptive The Effect of Denosumab on Fracture Risks at 3 Months FREEDOM Trial Oestrogen +/- progestogen, if menopausal symptoms are present Selective oestrogen receptor modulating drugs (e.g. raloxifene) 9% % RR = % P <.1.% RR = % P =.1 Denosumab Oral bisphosphonates (alendronate, risedronate) 7% 7.% Intravenous bisphosphonates (zoledronic acid) Subcutaneous denosumab injections (human RANK ligand Ab) % 5% % NNT =.5% NNT = NNT = Second-line drugs Stimulates bone formation [subcutaneous PTH(1-3) or teriparatide injections] Strontium ranelate (uncertain mode of action; CV safety) 3% % 1% %.3% 1.% RR = % P =.
