Maximizing bone mineral mass gain during growth for the prevention of fractures in the adolescents and the elderly
Bone , 11/10/09

Rizzoli R et al. – As suggested by intervention studies, regular intake of dairy products may have positive and possibly sustained effects on bone mineral mass gain, contributing thereby to fracture risk reduction. Further evidence from intervention studies suggests that weight–bearing physical activities, such as jumping, may contribute to bone mineral mass gain in children. Optimizing peak bone mass (PBM) acquisition through dietary and physical exercise measures may represent a valuable primary method for the prevention of fractures.
