Abstract

Hypocalcemia is one of the major health problems worldwide, as it causes a variety of diseases in the population such as Osteoporosis, Multiple Sclerosis, Renal diseases, Early breast cancer, etc. In Albania, there is a lack of checkups for any age group or category, as these checks are not provided for free by the state, but more importantly, people are not informed that there are important health examinations that must be carried out as early as possible, possibly since childhood, in order to be healthy adults in the future. Consequently, a great deal of work is needed to identify, as well as to draft national strategies to optimize consumption, as well as to set up a national database of adult calcium intake. This needs to be done simultaneously even for Mg, Na, K, and vitamin D.
