calcium loss
Skeletal mineral decline
Calcium loss refers to the depletion of calcium from the body, particularly from bones and teeth where most calcium is stored.
The term appears in medical and nutritional contexts discussing osteoporosis, aging, or dietary deficiencies: Postmenopausal women are at higher risk for calcium loss.
Factors like inadequate vitamin D, excessive caffeine, or certain medications can accelerate the process.
