Abstract | As lifestyle and environmental factors may affect the formation of peak bone mass by as much as 20%, it is important to delineate the most effective factors and time of life, to help target health education and intervention measures. This paper aims to present available data on factors influencing the formation of peak bone mass in Chinese women. The discussion is written from the perspective of scientific evidence obtained from studies in Caucasion populations. |
