Calcium Is Vital

Calcium is as important for men as it is for women, according to Agnew and Marin. They say that men's need for calcium is one "often-overlooked similarity between men's and women's nutritional needs." Osteoporosis tends to be looked at as a "woman's disease," but this is not always the case. In fact, they say, "one in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in his lifetime."
