The skeleton undergoes rapid change with respect to growth modeling and remodeling processes in adolescence Consequently the effects of factors that affect bone health positively or negatively can be greater nbsp; Between 40 and 60 of peak bone mass which serves as the bone bank for life is accrued during adolescence Lifetime risk of osteoporosis and fracture may be increased if optimal peak bone mass cannot be reached Accrual of peak bone mass is affected by unmodifiable intrinsic factors and less important extrinsic factors Higher body mass index and body fat and lower dietary calcium intake increase fracture risk in healthy adolescents Bone mass was found to be 5 to 10 lower in adolescents with fracture than their peers Adequate nutrition in amount and composition and life style factors are important for skeletal health While diets rich in saturated fats and refined sugars and lower in protein may be detrimental to bone health optimal quantities of polyunsaturated fatty acids and complex carbohydrates may be beneficial to bone health Dietary calcium and vitamin D are key factors in promoting bone health and preventing bone loss Phosphorus and magnesium as well as other elements and especially vitamin C and K have been shown to play important roles in bone health While weight bearing regular exercise and a healthy bodyweight are beneficial to bone health alcohol consumption and smoking contribute to poor bone health Adolescence may serve as a period of opportunity for reduction of the incidence of osteoporosis in adulthood through implication of effective intervention strategies Turk Arch Ped nbsp; 2011; 46 Suppl: 54 8
