Bone mass is a key determinant of fracture risk. Maximizing bone mineral mass during
childhood and adolescence may contribute to fracture risk reduction during adolescence …

It is now generally accepted that an adequate calcium intake is important for building and
maintaining a skeleton that expresses quantitatively the full genetic program and reduces …

Abstract Lifestyle choices influence 20–40% of adult peak bone mass. Therefore,
optimization of lifestyle factors known to influence peak bone mass and strength is an …

Bone mass is a key determinant of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Epidemiologic
studies have shown that a 10% increase in peak bone mass (PBM) at the population level …

Osteoporosis, an increasingly common skeletal disease, particularly affects the elderly, and
the focus of research has, until recently, been on treatment and fracture prevention …

Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration
resulting in a reduction in bone strength and an increased susceptibility to fracture [1]. In the …

Peak bone mass (PBM) is a key determinant of bone mass and fragility fractures later in life.
The increase in bone mass during childhood and adolescence is mainly related to an …

Background: The incidence of fragility fractures has increased during the last half of the
1900′ s. One important determinant of fractures is the bone mineral content (BMC) or bone …

Osteoporosis is a serious skeletal disease causing an increase in morbidity and mortality
through its association with age-related fractures. Although most effort in fracture prevention …

Background: Short-term studies established that calcium influences bone accretion during
growth. Whether long-term supplementation influences bone accretion in young adults is not …
