Rønne MS, et al. - Experts ascertained the bone mass development in childhood as it relates to pubertal onset. They also evaluated the degree of tracking from childhood to adolescence. They initiated a longitudinal study with 7 years of follow-up in 2008 to include 831 children (407 boys) aged 8 to 17 years. Pubertal onset was seen to highly influence the bone mass and while examining children’s bone health, the pubertal stage ought to be considered. A probable risk of developing osteoporosis later in life in children with low bone mass was noted based on the fact that bone mass indices track from childhood into puberty.
