Assessment and influencing factors of bone health in children and adolescents
Osteoporosis begins in childhood,and the accumulation of bone strength and bone mass during growth and development is essential for the prevention of osteoporosis and fragility fractures.Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry,as the preferred bone mass assessment technique for children and adolescents with osteoporosis,can be combined with clinically significant fractures to make a diagnosis of osteoporosis.Peak bone mass and bone mineral density(BMD)can be increased through intervention of factors such as physical activity,nutritional intake,medication,and lifestyle.Hospitals,families,schools,the internet and other parties should join forces to strengthen the popularization of osteoporosis knowledge and promote the disease cognition and bone protection behavior of children and adolescents.This article reviews the definition,assessment tools and influencing factors of osteoporosis in children and adolescents,so as to provide reference for promoting the prevention and intervention of osteoporosis in children and adolescents.
