UNAIR NEWS – Bone health should be
maintained from childhood and adolescence,
as this is the period when most bone mass is
formed. Bone growth is influenced by proper
nutrition, physical activity, hormones, and a
healthy lifestyle, all of which support strong
and healthy bones into adulthood.

Science Behind Bone Growth
Bone growth is greatly influenced by
adequate nutrition, especially during
childhood and adolescence. A healthy diet
rich in calcium, vitamin D, protein, and
essential micronutrients plays a vital role in
maintaining bone strength and overall bone
health. Nutritional research has also shown
that healthy eating habits established early in
life have long-term positive effects on bone
growth and bone health into adulthood.

Start Healthy Lifestyle for Stronger Bones
Bone health can be maintained by adopting a
healthy lifestyle through regular physical
activity and a balanced, nutritious diet.
Although bone development is influenced by genetic and environmental factors, most
bone mass is formed before the age of 20.
Therefore, developing healthy habits from an
early age is essential to support optimal bone
growth and help prevent osteoporosis later in
life.
