Osteoporosis typically develops in old age, yet the time to optimize bone density is during childhood and adolescence—decades away from the realities of hip fractures and spinal collapses. What plan of action might you develop to encourage teens to adopt strategies that will enhance bone development? Be sure to address potential obstacles and reluctances typical of that age.
In a short paragraph, discuss 2 primary lifestyle choices that can have an effect on improving bone density in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood.
Discuss how androgen therapy affects long bone development.

- This drug binds sclerostin, a regulatory factor in bone metabolism. Sclerostin inhibition increases bone formation and, to a lesser extent, decreases bone resorption. It is indicated for osteoporosis treatment in postmenopausal women at high risk for fracture, defined as a history of osteoporotic fracture or multiple risk factors for fracture.

A)Sufficient intakes of magnesium and potassium are associated with increased bone health. B)Regular consumption of calcium during childhood and adolescence is related to lower bone mineral density in older adults. C)The most effective way to prevent loss of bone mass and elasticity is to maintain a high bone mineral density.
