    Abstract

    This review summarized recent epidemiologic studies on three minerals (calcium magnesium, and potassium) of which relation to osteoporosis and bone fracture has been suggested. A significant relation with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone fracture was generally found in low calcium intake populations such as Chinese. But few studies found a significant relation in Western populations. For magnesium and potassium, some studies found a significantly positive relation with BMD. But no study with bone fracture as outcome has yet existed.
