Bone mineral accrual during childhood and adolescence : a critical analysis of size-correction techniques
The true pattern of bone mineral density changes during childhood and adolescence is unclear owing to a lack of longitudinal investigations, a lack of adequate control for maturational differences, and size-mediated errors in the measurement of areal bone mineral density (aBMD). This investigation …

How do early environment, diet and physical activity interact to determine bone development in young children?
… & physical activity) in the determination of bone mineral accrual by aged 6 years, assessed by a) bone densitometry b) hip structural analysis c) pQCT measurement of the tibia in children born to mothers from the Southampton Women?s Survey.<br/><br/>Methods: Children were recruited at 6 years …

Soft Tissue Composition, Cardiometabolic Risk, and Bone Development in Young Girls
… on the effects of obesity during childhood on bone development. Obesity and skeletal fragility have been previously thought to be two distinct conditions rarely found occurring in the same individual, as excess adiposity is thought to enhance bone strength due to the increase in mechanical …

Physical activity and its effect on bone in the short- and long- term perspective.
… thought to be an opportune time to build strong bones and the enhancement of peak bone mass (PBM) has been suggested as a prevention strategy for osteoporosis. Most exercise intervention studies in children, evaluating the accrual of areal bone mineral density (aBMD), include volunteers and use …

The impact of food and nutrient intake on bone from childhood to early adulthood
Development of peak bone mass during childhood to early adulthood has been considered as a major determinate of risk of fracture and osteoporosis later in life. The purpose of this project was to determine the impact of food and nutrient intake on bone from childhood to early adulthood using mixed …

A qualitative and quantitative analysis of the developing human lumbar vertebral column
… increased radiographic intensity and increased bone volume fraction driven by an increase in trabecular number. It is highly likely that this early period of bone mineral accrual acts as a preparatory mechanism to create a reservoir of minerals to facilitate re-organisation in the early …

The effect of structured and lifestyle physical activity interventions on the bone health and body composition of 9-11 year old children
… risk factors of diabetes and CHD and enhanced bone mineral accrual and protection against osteoporosis. Recent literature suggests that children may not be meeting the recommended daily guideline for physical activity of 60 min per day (Riddoch et al., 2007), while others suggest this guideline …

A longitudinal study of fat mass accrual from adolescence through to emerging adulthood and its impact on cardiometabolic risk later in life
… influenced by childhood and adolescence FM accrual. EA is also a period which favors trunk fat depots and when CMR likely commences or increases from child and adolescent levels. However, there is a paucity of longitudinal data describing the patterns and predictors of FM accrual during EA. …
