Preliminary questions [32487]

32488

there is some evidence that an altered dietary pattern resulting in a decrease in average daily calcium intake may be a factor in the development or worsening of the condition under consideration.

32489the veteran had an altered dietary pattern resulting in a decrease in average daily calcium intake at some time.

32490the veteran has established the causal connection between an altered dietary pattern resulting in a decrease in average daily calcium intake and VEA service for osteoporosis.

32502 the veteran's average daily calcium intake decreased to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, before the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

32491the veteran has established the causal connection between an altered dietary pattern resulting in a decrease in average daily calcium intake and VEA service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

32493the veteran has established the causal connection between an altered dietary pattern resulting in a decrease in average daily calcium intake and operational service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

or

32494the veteran has established the causal connection between an altered dietary pattern resulting in a decrease in average daily calcium intake and eligible service for the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

or

7334

the clinical onset of the condition under consideration occurred after the end of the veteran's last period of VEA service.

7335

the condition under consideration permanently worsened.

32504

the veteran's average daily calcium intake decreased to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, after the clinical onset of osteoporosis and before the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

32492the veteran has established the causal connection between an altered dietary pattern resulting in a decrease in average daily calcium intake and VEA service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

32495the veteran has established the causal connection between an altered dietary pattern resulting in a decrease in average daily calcium intake and operational service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

or

32496the veteran has established the causal connection between an altered dietary pattern resulting in a decrease in average daily calcium intake and eligible service for the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

Clinical onset and operational service [32493]

32499

the veteran's average daily calcium intake decreased to 400mg/day or less during operational service.

32506

the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake as a result of operational service made a material contribution to the decrease to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, before the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

or

32522

the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.

32523 the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake as a consequence of the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the decrease to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, before the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

32529the identified illness or injury, which caused the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake, is causally related to operational service.

Clinical onset and eligible service [32494]

32500

the veteran's average daily calcium intake decreased to 400mg/day or less during eligible service.

32507

the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake as a result of eligible service made a material contribution to the decrease to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, before the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

or

32522

the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.

32523 the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake as a consequence of the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the decrease to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, before the clinical onset of osteoporosis.

32530the identified illness or injury, which caused the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake, is causally related to eligible service.

Clinical worsening and operational service [32495]

32499

the veteran's average daily calcium intake decreased to 400mg/day or less during operational service.

32510

the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake as a result of operational service made a material contribution to the decrease to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, before the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

or

32522

the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake was due to an illness or injury which is identifiable.

32525 the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake as a consequence of the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the decrease to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, before the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

32529the identified illness or injury, which caused the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake, is causally related to operational service.

32531

the clinical onset of osteoporosis occurred prior to that part of operational service to which the identified illness or injury, which caused the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake, is causally related.

Clinical worsening and eligible service [32496]

32500

the veteran's average daily calcium intake decreased to 400mg/day or less during eligible service.

32511

the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake as a result of eligible service made a material contribution to the decrease to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, before the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

or

32522

32525 the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake as a consequence of the identified illness or injury made a material contribution to the decrease to 400mg/day or less, for a period of at least two years before age 20 years, or for a period of at least 7 years after age 20 years, or the equivalent combination thereof, before the clinical worsening of osteoporosis.

32530the identified illness or injury, which caused the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake, is causally related to eligible service.

32532

the clinical onset of osteoporosis occurred prior to that part of eligible service to which the identified illness or injury, which caused the decrease in the veteran's average daily calcium intake, is causally related.
