Pre-eclampsia and dietary calcium• Low incidence of pre-eclampsia noted in:
– Ethiopia (Hamlin 1962)– Guatemala (Belizan 1980)
• Postulated due to high calcium diets

Calcium vs Placebo: HELLP syndrome
![Page 20: Mdantsane, Eastern Cape (near East London, South Africa)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815e30550346895dcc8bac/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Hypothesis:Calcium supplementation in 2nd half of pregnancy:• ↓ blood pressure (↓ vascular tone)• ↓ serious complications related to hypertension• No effect on other organ dysfunction eg endothelial• ↓ BP → ↓ early deliveries (induction/CS)• → ↓ low birthweight• → ↑ time to develop HELLP syndrome• To prevent multisystem dysfunction may need adequate
calcium from before pregnancyHofmeyr GJ, Duley L, Atallah A. Dietary calcium supplementation for
prevention of pre-eclampsia and related problems: a systematic review and commentary. BJOG. 2007; 114: 933-943
![Page 21: Mdantsane, Eastern Cape (near East London, South Africa)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815e30550346895dcc8bac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Future research: The CAP study• The Calcium and Pre-eclampsia study• Randomized trial: calcium 500mg daily vs placebo
commencing before conception till 20 weeks• Participants: women with previous pre-eclampsia
who intend to conceive• Routine calcium in second half of pregnancy• If effective, next step trials of community level
calcium supplementation by food fortification• ? Place of Vitamin D supplementation• Further research on ideal dose
![Page 22: Mdantsane, Eastern Cape (near East London, South Africa)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815e30550346895dcc8bac/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Calcium: summary of evidence• Epidemiological association of dietary calcium with
huge discrepancies in rates of pre-eclampsia/ eclampsia
• Calcium supplementation in the second half of pregnancy reduces – pre-eclamsia (but not in largest trial)– Severe morbidity (about 20%)
• This benefit is sufficient to justify programs to supplement pregnant women with low calcium diets
• Ongoing research to determine whether pre-pregnancy supplementation will reproduce the more dramatic epidemiological differences
![Page 23: Mdantsane, Eastern Cape (near East London, South Africa)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815e30550346895dcc8bac/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Other benefits and risks of calcium supplementation
• Reduced hypertension• Reduced osteoporosis• Reduced Urinary stones• Improved insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes• ? Reduced colorectal cancer• ? Increased risk of coronary artery disease if
excessive• ?? Increased prostate cancer

Options for calcium supplementation programs
• Individual supplementation during pregnancy (limited to antenatal care attenders):– Individuals with low calcium diet– Populations with low calcium diet– Women at high risk of pre-eclampsia (Nulliparous, previous
pre-eclampsia, risk factors, screening, etc)– All pregnant women
• Population supplementation: fortification of staple foods – Broad population coverage, except people who grow their own food.
• Population dietary education
