[Bone and joint diseases in children. Nutritional guidance for infants, children, and adolescents].
Childhood is the period when physical growth and development are the most marked in human life. Bone growth is also the most marked during this period. Therefore, appropriate nutrient intakes corresponding to physical growth including bone growth are indispensable during each stage of childhood. In particular, during infancy and the preschool period, nutritional management with monitoring of changes in the physical growth curve of each child is important. It is necessary to guide children toward "eating habits and behavior" appropriate for each stage of childhood and promote the development of self-management for physical and mental health including bone health as a preparation for future life.
