Abstract

Periods of skeletal growth, especially during adolescence, are critical to acquiring maximal peak bone mass to reduce risk of osteoporosis later in life. Linear growth exceeds bone consolidation, creating a vulnerable period of low bone density that increases risk of fracture. Following dietary recommendations for dairy products or equivalent sources of calcium is prudent for meeting bone nutrient requirements. Vitamin D status of most adolescents is adequate for calcium utilization.
