To read the full abstract: J Bone Miner Res 2018;33:430-436Bone mass increases dramatically during puberty. The process of sexual maturation is therefore likely to impact lifelong bone health. Bone mineral density (BMD) tracks throughout life and later age at menarche is associated with increased osteoporosis risk in women, possibly because of combined effects of later menarche and lower peak bone ma...
