Overview of Traditional and Environmental Factors Related to Bone Health
Résumé
Bone mass in adulthood depends on growth and mineralization acquired during childhood and adolescence. It is well known
that these stages of life are crucial for bone development, where genetic, nutritional, hormonal, and lifestyle factors play a
significant role. Bone loss is normally a natural and slow process that begins years later after the peak bone mass is achieved
and continues throughout the lifespan. Lifestyle choices in childhood and adolescence such as minimal physical activity,
excessive caffeine or carbonated beverages intake, malnutrition, cigarette use, or high alcohol consumption and other factors
like environmental pollutants can also negatively affect bone health and accelerate the bone loss process. The aim of this
work is an overview of risk factors associated with inadequate bone health in early life.
