To comprehensively understand the calcium intake of Chinese children and adolescents,and to provide scientific evidence for the daily intake and dietary recommended consumption of dairy products for children and adolescents.[Method]Relevant literature were retrieved from CNKI,ScienceDirect and other databases to summarize the effects of calcium on bone health of children and adolescents and the characteristics of calcium in milk.[Result]The effects of milk calcium on skeletal health of children and adolescents,the existing forms and structural characteristics of milk calcium and the components in milk that promote calcium absorption were systemati-cally reviewed.[Conclusion]Calcium intake in Chinese children and adolescents is seriously insufficient. Adequate calcium in milk and various components promoting calcium absorption and utilization have positive effects on bone health.
