School-milk intervention trial enhances growth and bone mineral accretion in Chinese girls aged 10-12 years in Beijing
Xueqin Du,Kun Zhu,Angelika Trube,Qian Zhang,Guansheng Ma,Xiaoqi Hu,David R. Fraser,Heather Greenfield +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that an increase in milk consumption by means of school milk programmes, would improve bone growth during adolescence, particularly when Ca intake and vitamin D status are low.

Effects of Ergocalciferol Added to Calcium on the Risk of Falls in Elderly High-Risk Women
TL;DR: Patients with a history of falling and vitamin D insufficiency living in sunny climates benefit from ergocalciferol supplementation in addition to calcium, which is associated with a 19% reduction in the relative risk of falling, mostly in winter.

Calcium supplementation and the risks of atherosclerotic vascular disease in older women: results of a 5-year RCT and a 4.5-year follow-up
Joshua R. Lewis,Joshua R. Lewis,Janine Calver,Kun Zhu,Kun Zhu,Leon Flicker,Richard L. Prince,Richard L. Prince +7 more
TL;DR: There is compelling evidence that calcium supplementation of 1200 mg daily does not significantly increase the risk of atherosclerotic vascular disease in elderly women.
