TL;DR
Normal men experience a substantial bone loss at both axial and appendicular sites that is not prevented by calcium and vitamin D supplementation in a well-nourished population.
Abstract

The data suggest that inadequate metabolism of 25-OH-D to 1,25(OH)(2)D contributes significantly to decreased calcium absorption and adaptation in both osteoporotic patients and elderly normal subjects.

The data suggest the existence of two distinct syndromes: one form, "postmenopausal osteoporosis," is characterized by excessive and disproportionate trabecular bone loss, involves a small subset of women in the early postmenopausal period, and is associated with hip fractures or vertebral fractures or both.

There is increasing evidence that the resulting mismatch fosters "diseases of civilization" that together cause 75 percent of all deaths in Western nations, but that are rare among persons whose lifeways reflect those of the authors' preagricultural ancestors.

The findings suggest that the common assumption about a large ongoing loss of trabecular bone after menopause may be erroneous, as are the implications of the findings for calcium metabolism, anatomical correlations and fracture incidences.

The preliminary data suggest that calcium supplementation in the dosage used is not as effective as estrogen therapy for the prevention of early postmenopausal bone loss.

372 Citations1981David M. Slovik, John S. Adams +3 more
It is possible that a deficiency in 1,25-(OH)2-D secretory reserve will explain the inability of elderly osteoporotic patients to adapt to the low-calcium diets common in this age group and this phenomenon may play a part in the pathogenesis of age-related osteoporeosis.

363 Citations1984Keh‐Sung Tsai, Hunter Heath +2 more
It is concluded that an impaired ability of the aging kidney to synthesize 1,25(OH)2D could contribute to the pathogenesis of senile osteoporosis.

308 Citations1989Susan M. Ott, Charles H. Chesnut
Calcitriol is not an effective treatment for established postmenopausal osteoporosis, but renal function was not worse than in the placebo group.
Journal of Clinical InvestigationDietary calcium intake and rates of bone loss in women.
174 Citations1987B. Lawrence Riggs, Heinz W. Wahner +4 more
Data do not support the hypothesis that insufficient dietary calcium is a major cause of bone loss in women, and women in the lower and upper quartiles of dietary intake had similar rates of change in BMD.

Results indicate that a decline in renal function and alterations in vitamin D metabolism occur with aging in normal men, and these changes contribute to, if not cause, the associated decline in skeletal mineral content in aging men.

The age-related increase in N-terminal PTH and alterations in associated parameters of phosphate and calcium metabolism are consistent with increased parathyroid function as men and women age.

It is concluded that older women require a greater parathyroid hormone stimulus than younger women to maintain vitamin D homeostasis, because of an age-related decline in the formation of 1,25(OH)2D in response to parathyro hormone.

87 Citations1987Martha Susana Forero, Robert F. Klein +5 more
The data are consistent with an increase of parathyroid function with aging: clearly, there does not find decreased par Kathyroid function as would be expected if age‐related bone loss was not mediated, in part, by PTH.

85 Citations1987Gloria Young, Robert Marcus +3 more
It is concluded that increased iPTH with age in women reflects an increase in steady‐state levels of intact hormone, and although a similar phenomenon probably occurs in men, results from men in this study did not reach significance.

Examination of the determinants of plasma BGP levels in aging subjects, using a region-specific radioimmunoassay for human BGP based on the synthetic C-terminal peptide hBGP37-49, suggests that plasma B GP is a marker of osteoblast activity.

In normal men small calcium and cholecalciferol supplements are safe, provide adequate vitamin D nutrition and apparently increase net gastrointestinal Ca absorption.

One DPA and one SPA instrument, however, showed significant time trends associated with source activity, and the fourth DPA instrument had a significant linear decrease in BMD over a source life in the automatic mode but performed better in the manual mode.
Vitamin D and Involutional Osteoporosis
10 Citations1984B. Lawrence Riggs
With aging, all persons lose bone, especially the predominantly trabecular bone of the axial skeleton, and women lose more bone than do men, and people with osteoporosis lose so much bone that fractures of the vertebral bodies, proximal femur, and, less commonly, other bones occur with little or no trauma.
