View larger version (14K): [in a new window]   Fig. 2. Relation of total daily calcium intake and body mass index in African American women lactose malabsorbers according to self-reported tolerance of milk and dairy products. A positive relationship was observed between calcium intake and BMI (see Table 3 for corresponding analysis). Calcium intake was higher on average in lactose tolerant (LT) than in lactose intolerant (LI) women (regression coefficient = 208.5). Regression equations: Calcium intake (mg/1,000 kcal/day) = 505.23 - 11.47 x BMI (kg/m2)+ 208.5 x lactose tolerance; (R2 = 0.605), which is significantly different from lactose intolerant (LI) group (p < 0.001).
