  Calcium deficiency can occur throughout life. In children, calcium deficiency can manifest in its most serious forms, such as rickets and fractures and as osteoporosis in adulthood. The findings from animal models suggest that prebiotic supplementation has an impact on bone mineral density. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of prebiotics on bone mineral metabolism in murine models as reported in the scientific literature. A systematic review of the literature was carried out following international quality lines. The full texts were analyzed using the guidelines of the ARRIVE guide; the Risk-of-Bias (RoB) tool for intervention studies according to the SYRCLE. Twelve studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the meta-analyses. The BMD of the spine showed a positive response to supplementation with prebiotics Standardized Mean Difference (SMD= 0.38, 9.. View More»
