The formula to calculate the Daily Calcium Intake (CI) is:
\[ CI = \frac{MCI \times W}{1000} \]
Where:
Calcium intake refers to the amount of calcium a person consumes through their diet or supplements. Calcium is a vital mineral for the body, necessary for the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth, as well as for the proper functioning of the heart, muscles, and nerves. It is found in various foods like dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and fish with edible bones, or can be taken as a dietary supplement. The recommended daily intake varies depending on age, sex, and life stage.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Daily Calcium Intake (CI):
\[ CI = \frac{MCI \times W}{1000} = \frac{10 \times 70}{1000} = 0.7 \text{ grams} \]
The Daily Calcium Intake (CI) is 0.7 grams.
