Abstrakt		Background. Adolescence is a critical time for bone mineral acquisition and is as such the crucial period for the prevention of osteoporosis. The purpose of the study was to find whether adolescents' calcium intake in Celje region is high enough to attain peak bone mass. Methods. 2Z 7 pupils attending primary school and 434 students attending secondary school participated in an anonymous survey regarding their calcium intake. The acquired data were statistically analysed. Results. Only 77 (11.8%) among 651 teenagers had an optimal daily intake of calcium (>= 1300 mg). The average calcium intake was 828.9 mg per day. The average daily calcium intake for girls was 777.6 mg and for boys 910.0 mg. Calcium intake decreased with the age of the adolescents. The lowest calcium intake was found in those adolescents who were concerned that drinking milk would make them fat. Conclusions. Because of adolescents' sub-optimal intake of calcium there is a probability that osteoporosis will break out in the future. To avoid that, it would be necessary to start inexpensive education programs aimed at teenagers about the importance of the prevention of osteoporosis in adolescence.
Izvleček		Izhodišča. Za preprečevanje osteoporoze je ključnega pomena obdobje do 20. leta, ko se v kostnino vgradi največji del kalcijevih soli. V raziskavi smo želeli ugotoviti, ali je dnevni vnos kalcija med mladimi na Celjskem zadosten za doseganje največje kostne mase. Metode. Med 217 osnovnošolci in 434 srednješolci smo izvedli anonimno anketo, v kateri smo spraševali po vnosu kalcija. Pridob jene podatke smo statistično analizirali. Rezultati. Med 651 anketiranci jih je samo 77 (11,8%) dnevno užilo dovolj kalcija (več kot 1300 mg). Povprečni dnevni vnos kalcija je bil 828,9 mg nižji pri dekletih (777,6 mg) kot pri fantih (910,0 mg), in je s starostjo padal. Najnižji vnos kalcija so imeli tisti najstniki, ki so bili prepričani, da mlečni izdelki redijo. Zaključki. Več kot 88% mladostnikov je imelo prenizek dnevni vnos kalcija, zato obstaja velika verjetnost, da se bo pri njih v prihodnosti pojavila osteoporoza. To bi lahko z nizkimi stroški preprečili s pravočasnim izobraževanjem mladih o ključnem pomenu preprečevanja osteoporoze v najstniških letih.
