at what age do bones start to lose density
Most people will reach their peak bone mass between the ages of 25 and 30. By the time we reach age 40, however, we slowly begin to lose bone mass. We can, however, take steps to avoid severe bone loss over time.For most of us, bone loss can be significantly slowed through proper nutrition and regular exercise.eak bone mass occurs 9 to 12 months after the peak rate in height growth. Early or late onset of puberty affects peak bone mass. Boys with late puberty generally have less bone mass for life than those who start puberty at the typical time, about age 11 1/2.
