August 17/Islamabad, Pakistan/Right Vision News -- Adolescents who had consumed two or more servings of dairy products daily as children have been found to have higher levels of bone mineral content and bone density than those who did not. Until recently, it was unclear how long-term dairy intake contributes to bone health in children, including bone density, bone mineral content and bone area.
Lynn Moore and colleagues from Boston University School of Medicine analysed data from Framingham Children's Study to find the link between childhood dairy intake and adolescent bone health.
