Abstract
Childhood and adolescence are times of rapid growth and development. This growth includes both an increase in body mass and changes in body composition, with a rapid increase in lean tissues. The nutritional requirements needed to meet these challenges are extremely high, particularly for those minerals found predominantly in bone and muscle, and in those subjects whose dietary intake is marginal.
