Figure 5. Figure 1. Bone mass throughout the life span. Bone accumulates rapidly in childhood and grows at maximal rates during puberty. Peak bone mass is reached by age 30, and then slowly decreases. Females typically accumulate less bone mass than males and rapidly lose bone during menopause, making them more susceptible to osteoporosis later in life.

描述

Bone mass changes throughout the human lifespan are charted, showing rapid accumulation during childhood, peak bone mass around age 30, and subsequent gradual decline. Females typically experience accelerated bone loss after menopause, underscoring the importance of adequate calcium intake in earlier decades.
