- Abstract
The article focuses on a study which estimated the peak bone mass (PBM) of men and women aged 16 to 40 years old, using longitudinal data from the Canadian MultiCentre Osteoporosis Study (CaMos). Hierarchical models weighted according to 2006 Canadian census data were used to estimate PBM. It is concluded that the PBM achievement age varies by sex and skeletal site, and that lack of harmony between PBM and bone mineral density (BMD) over age 65 indicates different determinants of PBM and later bone loss.
