Vegan diet
Vitamin D deficiency
High fiber intake
Chronic diarrhea
Women tend to consume less than the RDA for calcium, while men consume amounts roughly equivalent to the RDA. Factors that influence calcium absorption may contribute to calcium deficiency including vitamin D deficiency, reduced stomach acid secretion, phytic and oxalic acid intake, high fiber intake, high phosphorus intake, chronic diarrhea, and fat malabsorption. Vegans and people who are lactose intolerant are also at risk of calcium deficiency, because they avoid milk and milk products, which are the most reliable dietary sources of calcium.
