Lifestyle and bone
Low bone mass in young adulthood is associated with a higher risk of developing osteoporosis and osteoporosis-related fractures in later life (1, 2). Bone is accrued rapidly during the adolescent years, with peak bone mass (PBM) occurring between ages 20 to 30 years. So, there is a considerable opportunity to optimize bone accretion in early-stage development. This may be particularly important for women at a greater risk of low bone mass and osteoporosis-related fracture in later life(1). Bo...
