September 2015 BMJ

Synopsis of Social media discussions

Several comments reflect a critical stance on popular assumptions, such as questioning whether more calcium means healthier bones, exemplified by phrases like 'No clinical trial evidence that increasing calcium intake prevents fractures.' The tone shifts from skepticism to scientific referencing, with some statements emphasizing the evidence's limitations, which influences the overall understanding of the publication's findings.

A
Agreement
 Low agreement

Most discussions highlight the lack of a strong link between calcium intake and fracture prevention, with some posts explicitly stating that increased calcium does not significantly reduce fracture risk, showing moderate disagreement with traditional beli

I
Interest
 High level of interest

The wide-ranging discussions, including references to scientific studies and debates on dietary habits, indicate high curiosity and concern regarding the topic.

E
Engagement
 Moderate level of engagement

Posts vary from simple endorsements of evidence-based facts to more in-depth commentary about research studies, reflecting basic but not deeply analytical engagement.

I
Impact
 Low level of impact

While the conversations raise awareness about the scientific evidence, many posts suggest little practical change or impact on dietary recommendations, implying moderate perceived influence.

    @ApothekerDer Calcium D6 hat wenigstens keine Nebenwirkungen. Die Evidenzbasis der knochenschützenden Wirkung von Calcium ist meines Wissens mehr als dünn, und dann gibt's ja auch ältere Frauen, die eh schon erhöhte Kalziumspiegel im Blut haben. https://t.co/gR4LwacPKa

In the "Similar Articles" below your study the first 3 references disagree with that conclusion. This study is a meta-analysis of all the available research & the one you should be looking at. https://t.co/kySIn8x2A2

    Dietary calcium intake is not associated with risk of fracture, and there is no clinical trial evidence that increasing calcium intake from dietary sources prevents fractures. Evidence that calcium supplements prevent fractures is weak and inconsistent. https://t.co/BdsTS1lYNk

    Which could be why there's very little evidence that calcium supplements do much (if anything) to reduce the risk of osteoporotic fracture. https://t.co/ZvhyjxEhkK
