Peak Bone Mass

Peak bone mass refers to the maximum amount of bone tissue a person develops during their lifetime, usually in their late twenties or early thirties. It represents the strongest and densest state of your bones, providing important structural support and protection for organs. Achieving a high peak bone mass is vital because it helps reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures later in life. Factors influencing peak bone mass include genetics, nutrition (like calcium and vitamin D), physical activity, and overall health during childhood and young adulthood. Maintaining good habits throughout life supports healthy bones and long-term skeletal strength.
