In Canada\, osteoporosis touches over 1.4 million individuals 40 ye ar of age and older and costs the Canadian health care system over $4.6 bi llion in 2010-2011\, an increase of 83 % from the 2008 estimate. Maximizin g genetic potential peak bone mass (PBM) during skeletal growth is thought to be the primary strategy to prevent osteoporosis. About 95% of final PB M is attained by late adolescence\, of which 33 to 46% is acquired over th e 5 years surrounding peak height velocity. Consequently\, any factor that influences the development of bone mass early in life is hypothesized to reduce fracture risk and\, thus\, osteoporosis later in life. The role of calcium intake in optimizing bone mineral mass has been widely recognized\ , with milk and milk products (MILK) being the major and the most bioavail able sources of dietary calcium. MILK consumption has long been widely rec ognized as an important strategy for optimizing PBM. Therefore\, it is ass umed that MILK intake\, especially during development of PBM\, reduces ris k for osteoporosis. To date\, only 5 RCTs have investigated the effect of MILK intake on bone parameters in adolescents. None of these studies is re cent or Canadian or has included males. To fill this knowledge gap\, a dos e-response study of MILK intervention in 14 to 18-year-old males and femal es with low habitual MILK intake is needed to determine whether increasing MILK consumption during the growing years can promote PBM and thereby red uce fracture risk in later life.\n\nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is we lcome to attend a PhD Oral Defence. Please join us in celebrating the acco mplishments of our PhD candidates.\n DTSTART:20190325T173000Z DTEND:20190325T173000Z LOCATION:MS2-022\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellev ue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defence: Bone health and mineral metabolism in 14- to 18-y ear-old adolescents with usual low intake of milk products URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defence-bone-he alth-and-mineral-metabolism-14-18-year-old-adolescents-usual-low-intake-mi lk-295435 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
