The bone remodeling transient is a temporary alteration in the balance between bone formation and bone resorption, brought about by any agency that affects bone remodeling. Ascertaining the steady state effect of an intervention requires factoring the component of the change due to the transient out of the total bony response. Since parathyroid hormone (PTH) is the principal regulator of the quantity of remodeling activity, and since calcium intake influences PTH secretion, it follows that altering calcium intake will always induce a remodeling transient. Worked examples from three published calcium intervention studies are presented, and the errors that can be made by ignoring the transient and simply measuring change in bone mass across treatment are described.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 July 2018.

Outputs from Nutrition Reviews
#1,098
of 2,719 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#23,943
of 139,567 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nutrition Reviews
#142
of 732 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 32,375,021 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,719 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 32.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 139,567 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 732 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
