Healthy Food Intake in Childhood Promotes later Bone Health

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Development of peak bone mass during childhood to
early adulthood is a major determinate of risk of
fracture and osteoporosis later in life. We
evaluated the impact of food and nutrient
intake on bone from childhood to early adulthood
using mixed longitudinal data from the University of
Saskatchewan Pediatric Bone Mineral Accrual Study
(1991-2004), Canada. This book includes four
studies: two studies investigated the effect
of nutrition on bone measures, the two other studies
were designed to evaluate the dietary patterns of
our cohort in relation to time and age. The results
of this study present the bone protective nutrients
and food groups from childhood to early adulthood in
our cohort. The food choices and dietary habits of
the cohort change by age, but not in the favour of
bones, with females more at risk. To prevent risk of
osteoporosis, there should be promotion of a healthy
dietary plan, not a single food group or nutrient,
accompanied with an adequate level of physical
activity.
