“…Moreover, Chiplonkar et al showed that zinc intake and erythrocyte membrane-zinc were negatively correlated with blood pressure in a traditional Indian lacto-vegetarian population with a great risk of developing mild zinc deficiency (Chiplonkar et al, 2004). However, Sato et al found that severe zinc deficiency during adult life does not change blood pressure in normotensive rats (Sato et al, 2003), but it can aggravate hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (Sato et al, 2002).…”

“…Data on habitual physical activity were collected using a validated structured questionnaire [16]. Information about duration in minutes of major daily activities such as sleep, sitting, standing, walking, exercise, recreation, and occupational activity were used to classify an individual into level of physical activity groups: inactivity, light and moderate activity [17].…”

Background Bone turnover is high during lactation. However, studies on bone status of Indian urban mothers are scarce. Hence, the objective was to conduct a crosssectional study on the lactation-related changes in bone health status of Indian mothers postpartum using Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) at 3 time points: within a week of delivery, at 1-and 3-years postpartum. We also explored the association of dietary calcium intake, physical activity, serum vitamin D status, and dietary traditional food supplements (Dietary Food supplements) with bone health. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted; 300 full-term, healthy primiparous women (28.6 ± 3.4 year) were randomly selected and categorized into 3 groups: 128 mothers within 7 days of delivery (Group A), 88 with 1-year-old children (B), and 84 with 3-year-old children (C). Anthropometry, lactation history, physical activity, diet, biochemical tests (vitamin D, parathyroid hormone), body composition, areal bone mineral density (a-BMD) at total body (TB), AP spine (APS), and dual neck femur (DF) were assessed by DXA (GE-Lunar DPX). Results Significantly higher APS-BMD (mean ± SD) was observed in Group C (1.107 ± 0.098 g/cm 2 ) than that in A (1.045 ± 0.131 g/cm 2 ) (p \ 0.05). When adjusted for breastfeeding practices, mean (±standard error) APS-BMD was lowest in women in Group A (1.024 ± 0.013 g/cm 2 ),

“…23 As deficiências de micronutrientes, muitas vezes observadas em lactovegetarianos, têm sido identificadas como fatores predisponentes à HAS em adultos seguidores desse estilo alimentar. 24 Fato relevante é a observação de que os vegetarianos apresentam, em geral, menor IMC, fato que, independentemente do tipo de dieta, se associa a menor PA.
