Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed bone health in 243 pre-adolescent Malaysian children with low calcium and vitamin D levels, focusing on lifestyle factors that influence peak bone mass.
- Body composition measurements, including bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC), showed that lean mass was a key predictor of bone health for both boys and girls, while calcium intake significantly impacted girls' bone metrics.
- The findings suggest that improving lean mass, physical activity, and calcium intake are essential for enhancing bone health in children.
