Aim

To explore the poorly understood pathophysiology of osteoporosis in young adults: to understand the causes of low bone mass in young adults and to identify its genetic factors.

Objectives

To review the skeletal determinants of bone strength and fracture susceptibility in healthy children and make recommendations on the role of nutrition factors and physical activity for the prevention of fracture.
