The association between daily 500 mg calcium supplementation and lower pregnancy-induced hypertension risk in Bangladesh

Verified

Fouzia Khanam, Md. Belal Hossain, Sabuj Kanti Mistry, Dipak Kumar Mitra et al.

Journal: BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthYear: 2018Citations: 38

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that daily supplementation of 1500 to 2000 mg of calcium during pregnancy reduces pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). However, the evidence on the efficacy of low-dose calcium supplementation on PIH is limited. This paper assesses the longitudinal correlation between ...
