Accrual of bone mass during childhood is a major determinant of osteoporosis risk in adulthood.

The strengths and weaknesses of available methods to assess bone health are discussed, as are analytic approaches to the interpretation of bone density measures. Finally, two disorders, inflammatory bowel disease and cystic fibrosis, provide examples of disrupted bone mineralization in childhood disease.
