When is peak bone mass achieved among the following?
Infancy
Early adolescence
Early adulthood
Early foies
Peak bone mass is achieved in early adulthood after the cessation of skeletal growth. This set point is determined by a variety of factors, including polymorphisms in the receptors for vitamin D and LRP5/6, nutrition, physical activity, age, and hormonal status. Beginning in the fouh decade, however, resorption exceeds formation, so there is a steady decline in skeletal mass.Robbins Pathology 9e pg: 1183
