Bone Health Innovations

Poor bone health can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of fractures later in life. The peak in bone mass, which is one of the most important determinants of the development of osteoporosis, increases largely at the age of 18. Therefore, measures to maximize the peak of bone mass should be taken during the childhood years. Since 80% of people with osteoporosis are women, it is important that young girls receive information on how to reduce their risk of developing this disorder. Pediatric and adolescent healthcare professionals are increasingly recognizing the importance of understanding the skeletal health of their patients. The peak of bone mass, the “bone bank” that an individual will draw on throughout their adult life, is probably reached in late adolescence, with the critical window of accumulation occurring much earlier. This review describes the known conditions associated with an alteration in the accumulation of bone minerals and the clinical parameters in which the evaluation of adolescents "at risk" should be considered. We describe the methods available to the healthcare professional to assess bone density, as well as the limitations of each technology. Potential treatment options for patients identified as having low bone mineral density are being explored.
