What is meant by the peak bone mass?

Peak bone mass refers to the genetic potential for bone density. By the age of 20, the average woman has acquired most of her skeletal mass. A large decline in bone mass occurs in older adults, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. For women this occurs around the time of menopause. It is therefore important for young girls to reach their peak bone mass in order to maintain bone health throughout life. A person with high bone mass as a young adult will be more likely to have a higher bone mass later in life. Inadequate calcium consumption and physical activity early on could result in a failure to achieve peak bone mass in adulthood.

I did not know about this,all thanks to you dear that today i'm aquainted to something that was new to me.

I don’t know why but whenever I bend to pick up something then I feel some pain in my back. Does it mean that I have osteoporosis?
