    Abstract:
    The current focus on reducing the risk of osteoporosis and skeletal fractures in later life has placed an emphasis on the role of calcium in building strong bones during childhood and adolescence. Recent National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Conference recommendations for optimal calcium intake encourage increased intake. Strategies to enhance optimal calcium intake in children and adolescents include dietary choices and the use of supplements.
