“…Dairy products contain protein and calcium, which can explain the value of dairy products on linear growth in children [24,25]. Evidence suggests adequate calcium intake is involved in bone mineralization and linear growth [26,27].…”

Background: Although several studies have examined the link between different food groups intake and stunting among children, no study, to our knowledge, was done on exceptional children. The aim of this study was assessed the association of dietary intake and stunting in Iranian exceptional children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 470 exceptional children (226 mentally retarded, 182 deaf and 62 blind children), aged 5-15 years. Height was measured using standard tool. Stunting was defined as heightfor-age z-score of <-1. A validated dietary habit questionnaire was applied to assess dietary intakes. Results: Mean age of children was 10.02 ± 2.04 years. Stunting was prevalent among 50.6% of children. Compared with children in the lowest category of dairy consumption, those in the highest category had lower odds of stunting. This association remained significant even after adjusting for covariates (OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.29-0.87). In addition, moderate consumption of egg (1-3 time/wk) was inversely associated with stunting either before or after controlling for potential confounders (OR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.21-0.64). Such finding was also seen among mentally retarded children (OR: 0.38, 95% CI: 0.16-0.89). No other significant association was seen between intakes of other food groups (including meat, fruits and vegetables) and stunting. Conclusions: We found that higher intake of dairy products and egg was associated with lower risk of stunting. However, intakes of other food groups including meat, fruits and vegetables were not significantly related to stunting.

“…The other point in the correlation among the hazard of CRC and food calcium was if the supportive impact of calcium is related to calcium or dairy products. Milk, as a diary product, consists of high amount of dietary calcium in USA (Subar et al, 1998), while Cheese and vegetables are considered as the essential origin of calcium in Iran (Omidvar et al, 2015) which have less valuable calcium content than milk.

Background: Vitamin D and Calcium have a possible protective impact versus rectal neoplasm. Vitamin D, an important nutrient, is vital to regulate the absorption of calcium and bone mineralization; nevertheless, in a case-control study in Iran, we investigated the relationship among the dietary intake of vitamin D and calcium with the hazard of rectal neoplasm. Methods: 363 subjects (162 cases and 201 controls) participated in the case-control Study from March 2017 to November 2018. Dietary intake of Calcium and Vitamin D was calculated using a 148-items food-frequency questionnaire. Results: Since altering the strong confounding agents, the multivariate risk proportion within the dietary vitamin D intake was OR=0.2, 95%CI 0.1-0.5, P-value <0.001 among cases. There was no association in case of calcium and rectal cancer. Conclusions: Taken together, a possible reduction in the hazard of rectal neoplasm with dietary intake of Vitamin D within Iranian patients was observed.
