ABSTRACT
The foundation of bone health is established in utero. Bone accrual starts from the developing fetus and continues throughout childhood and adolescence. This process is crucial to achieve peak bone mass. Understanding factors that influence bone accrual before attainment of peak bone mass is thus critical to improve bone health and prevent osteoporosis, thereby reducing the burden of osteoporotic fractures in older women. In this review, we broadly outline factors influencing peak bone mass from pregnancy to infancy, childhood and adolescence with potential diseases and medications that may affect the optimum trajectory to maximizing bone health. It is estimated that a 10% increase in peak bone mass will delay the onset of osteoporosis by 13 years in a woman.
