“…Estrogens have a significant impact on bone remodeling in women by preventing the generation of interleukin IL-6, which lowers bone resorption and regulates the timing of osteoclast apoptopsis. Osteoclasts live longer when there is a lack of estrogen 4 . Additionally, estrogen insufficiency may cause calcium loss via having an indirect impact on the extraskeletal calcium homeostasis.…”

In postmenopausal women, more significant bony consequences are associated with low blood calcium levels. A observational cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Biochemistry, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2014 to June 2015. Serum calcium levels were compared between postmenopausal women as cases and premenopausal women as controls. The study sample size was 100 of which 50 were postmenopausal, and 50 were premenopausal. Mean (±SD) of serum calcium level was significantly higher in the premenopausal group than in the postmenopausal group. Serum calcium level was 8.66±0.43 mg/dL in postmenopausal women and 9.12±0.59mg/dL in premenopausal women. Both the values were within the normal reference range, but the difference was statistically significant with a p-value of 0.001. By this research work, it is observed that postmenopausal women are more prone to develop osteoporosis with a decreased serum calcium concentration. Routine check-up of this biochemical parameter may provide valuable information for preventing osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. Bangladesh J Med Biochem 2019; 12(1): 1-5

“…Calcium serves as a crucial component of the body's skeleton, and its adequate supply in the diet is essential, particularly in the context of reduced endogenous synthesis. This becomes especially important in cases of endocrine problems to support the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth [37,38]. The body's regulation of calcium metabolism is orchestrated by vitamin D, which exerts its influence on the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and skeleton.…”

Dental caries, as a pervasive and complex global health issue affecting individuals of all ages, is influenced by a multitude of factors. These factors encompass the interplay of demineralization and remineralization processes, dietary and oral hygiene practices, salivary composition and flow, tooth morphology, genetics, fluoride exposure, and environmental and socioeconomic variables. This chapter analyzes three categories of factors that cause dental caries, such as: general, local, and iatrogenic factors. Initially, the genetic predisposition, gender-related hormonal fluctuations, aging, immunological elements, pregnancy-related changes, chronic diseases, hormonal disorders, vitamin levels, and socioeconomic factors are included in general factors that contribute to the susceptibility to dental caries. Moreover, to understand and mitigate caries risk, it is pivotal to analyze local factors such as dental morphology, oral hygiene, and the vital role of saliva. Additionally, premature loss of primary teeth, crowding, orthodontic treatment, dental fillings, and prosthetic dental work can lead to iatrogenic issues affecting oral health. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of dental caries, susceptibility underscores the necessity for comprehensive strategies in oral health care. Therefore, this chapter underlines that proper oral care, preventive measures, and meticulous attention during dental procedures are paramount for maintaining optimal oral health.
