Abstract
Osteoporosis and related bone fractures are recognized as a serious cause of morbidity and mortality, largely among elderly women. The most preventable cause of fractures is low bone mass (Riggs and Melton, 1992), which is thought to be dependent on both the current rate of bone loss and peak bone mass (i.e., the amount of bone present at skeletal maturity) (Riggs and Melton, 1986). The most cost-effective approach to reducing the risk of osteoporosis is to maximize peak bone mass by optimizing bone accretion during teen and early adult life and later to slow the rate of bone loss with increasing age (Riggs and Melton, 1986, 1992; Ott, 1990; Matkovic et al., 1990).
