Bazedoxifene has also demonstrated in experimental studies its ability to inhibit the growth of ER(+) tumors in mice and rats in the absence of uterotrophic effects (Greenberger et al. 2001). At the present time bazedoxifene s ability to counteract the estrogenic effects of CEE at the levels of both breast and endometrium is being tested in a multicentric study comparing calcium + vitamin D to bazedoxifene with and without a low dose of CEE in mild symptomatic postmenopausal women.

Calcium/Vitamin D supplementation Patients should receive supplemental calcium if dietary intake is inadequate. Patients at increased risk for vitamin D insufficiency (eg, those in nursing homes, chronically ill, older than 70 years of age), should receive vitamin D supplementation in addition to that provided in alendronate/cholecalciferol. Patients with Gl malabsorption syndromes may require higher doses of vitamin D supplementation consider measurement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D.

Disease-induced, dmg-induced, old age-induced, immobility-induced and menopause-induced osteoporosis is all relatively cheap to prevent but become very expensive and difficult to treat as soon as a fractures occur. Oral calcium, vitamin D, biphos-phonates, hormone replacement and parenteral calcitonin in post-menopausal women, achieved annual BMD increases of 0.5-1.5%. Limited efficacy of less than 0.5% annual BMD increase, adverse effects, and high costs have restricted the large scale use of calcitonin.

In the Women s Health Initiative Calcium/Vitamin D Trial, a large number of postmenopausal women (n = 36,282) were supplemented with 1000 mg of elemental calcium and 400 IU vitamin D daily or placebo for 7 years. The study found no significant decrease in either systolic or diastolic blood pressure (Margolis et al., 2008). The results from the Women s Health Initiative Trial further emphasized the importance of dairy per se rather than calcium for the effect on blood pressure.

Inadequate calcium, vitamin D, and nutritional intake also contribute to bone loss and fractures. Vitamin D insufficiency results from poor sun exposure, decreased cutaneous production, insufficient dietary intake, and decreased absorption. Calcium and vitamin D insufficiency promotes secondary hyperparathyroidism and associated bone loss (see Fig. 88-3).

Stable Strontium. Since strontium is so common in the environment, and is naturally present in food and water, we cannot avoid being exposed to it. For several reasons, having a balanced diet with sufficient vitamin D, calcium, and protein will be protective by reducing the amount of ingested strontium that is absorbed. Milk sold in the United States is fortified with vitamin D and is also an important source of calcium and protein. Although the body absorbs strontium by mechanisms similar to those of calcium, there is a preference for calcium. Vitamin D helps...
