It is widely assumed that bone mass acquisition throughout childhood is an important determinant of the risk of osteoporosis in late adulthood; bone mass is thought to resemble a bank account in which deposits persist indefinitely. However, several well-controlled clinical studies suggest that increasing bone mass acquisition during childhood will have only transient effects. A likely explanation is that bone mass is governed by a homeostatic system that tends to return to a set point after any perturbation and, therefore, bone mass depends primarily on recent conditions, not those in the distant past. Indeed, in an animal model, we have shown evidence that bone mass acquisition in early life has no effect on bone mass in adulthood, in part because many areas of the juvenile skeleton are replaced in toto through skeletal growth. Therefore, it should not be assumed that alterations in childhood bone mass acquisition will affect bone mass many decades later in late adulthood. This issue remains open and the solution may depend on the type of childhood condition (for example calcium intake versus exercise) and its magnitude, timing, and duration. To date, both animal studies and clinical studies suggest that much of the effect of early bone mass acquisition does not persist.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2006-2023d","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,2]],"date-time":"2007-03-02T02:35:04Z","timestamp":1172802904000},"page":"S131-S136","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Childhood Bone Mass Acquisition and Peak Bone Mass May Not Be Important Determinants of Bone Mass in Late Adulthood"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"119","author":[{"given":"Rachel I.","family":"Gafni","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Section on Growth and Development, Developmental Endocrinology Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland;"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeffrey","family":"Baron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section on Growth and Development, Developmental Endocrinology Branch, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2021120821000093200_B1","first-page":"1","volume":"17","author":"Osteoporosis prevention, diagnosis, and therapy","year":"2000","journal-title":"NIH Consens Statement"},{"key":"2021120821000093200_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"985","DOI":"10.1007\/s001980070020","article-title":"Peak bone mass","volume":"11","author":"Heaney","year":"2000","journal-title":"Osteoporos Int."},{"key":"2021120821000093200_B3","volume-title":"Bone Health and Osteoporosis: A Report of the Surgeon General","author":"US Department of Health and Human Services","year":"2004"},{"key":"2021120821000093200_B4","volume-title":"Bone up on Bone Loss: Exercise to Build Healthy Bones!","author":"National Institute of Child Health and Human Development ND","year":"2000"},{"key":"2021120821000093200_B5","unstructured":"National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
