Abstract
Various factors are known to interfere with gain in bone density and structure during growth and development. Bone status in childhood has been shown to be a predictor of bone mass in young adulthood. This concise review aims to discuss the main factors that can influence peak bone mass during growth and development, and whether they may be predictors of future bone fragility risk, useful for physicians taking care of children and adolescents. KEY WORDS: Children and adolescent bone health, peak bone mass, predictors of bone fragility, osteoporosis prevention.
