FIGURE E-1 Calcium retention as a function of intake in adolescents. The equation which describes the nonlinear regression model of Jackman et al. (1997) and applied as depicted in this figure to the balance study data of Jackman et al. (1997) as circles, Matkovic et al. (1990) as squares, and Greger et al. (1978) as diamonds is Y= 436.90 eL/(1 + eL), where L = −2.96 + 0.0032 (intake).
