How do you know if you are deficient in calcium? The scientific and simple way is to go to the hospital for a blood calcium level measurement. Calcium in the blood of a normal person is maintained at 2 18 to 2 63 millimolar (9 to 11 milligram dL), and if it falls below this range, it is considered to be deficient.

However, for the elderly over 60 years old, due to physiological reasons, the long-term compensatory increase in parathyroid hormone in the elderly has caused "calcium moving" and increased blood calcium, so that the measurement results can not truly reflect the calcium content in the body. At this point, bone densitometry should be performed.

In our daily lives, we can also self-diagnose based on some symptoms.

1) Children. When a child has some of the following symptoms, it should be diagnosed as calcium deficiency: it is not easy to fall asleep, it is not easy to enter a deep sleep state, it is easy to cry after falling asleep, it is easy to wake up, and it sweats a lot after falling asleep; paroxysmal abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramps, sternal pain, "X'" shaped legs, "O" shaped legs, chicken breasts, gray or white marks on nails; anorexia, picky eating; daytime irritability, restlessness; delayed mental development and late speech; Late toddler, who starts walking after 13 months; Late teething, teething after 10 months, sparse, irregular, and not tightly arranged, with black-pointed or jagged teeth; thinning hair; Poor health, easy to catch colds, etc.

When there are symptoms such as frequent fatigue, fatigue, cramps, backache, allergies, and colds, calcium deficiency should be suspected.

4) Pregnant and lactating women.

Calcium deficiency is more common among women in extraordinary times. However, with the popularization of eugenics knowledge, people are more familiar with the symptoms of calcium deficiency at this stage. When they feel their teeth loosen; weakness, frequent cramps, numbness of the limbs; backache, joint pain, rheumatic pain; Calcium deficiency should be diagnosed when dizziness is accompanied by anemia, antenatal hypertension, edema, and inadequate milk production.

5) Elderly.

After adulthood, the human body slowly enters a period of negative calcium equilibrium, that is, the absorption of calcium decreases and the excretion increases. Most of the elderly are deficient in calcium due to the loss of calcium. Their self-diagnosed symptoms include senile itching; heel pain, lumbar and cervical spine pain; loosening, loss of teeth; marked hunchback, decreased height; loss of appetite, peptic ulcers, constipation; Dreaminess, insomnia, irritability, irritability, etc.
