American Bone Health has closed. However, on October 1, 2023, we joined forces with the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation (BHOF) so that BHOF could continue offering all of the important programs and services created by American Bone Health. Please visit www.bonehealthandosteoporosis.org for more information about the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation.
Children build their skeletons at an amazing pace, especially between age 9 and 14. By the time they are 18, children have 80% of the bone density that will carry them through their lives.
Children need to understand what is happening in their bones and how to optimize the development of their skeleton. The consequences of ignoring bone health can lead to fractures and osteoporosis as they age.
You are growing MOST of your bone before you turn 18 that you will need ALL the rest of your LIFE
