Synopsis
This book is an authoritative and comprehensive reference work on the role of nutrition in the development and maintenance of skeletal health. It encompasses the fundamentals of bone development and their biomedical consequences. Eighteen contributions are grouped into five parts: Bone Development and Aging; Nutritional Problems in Mineral Metabolism; Protein, Carbohydrate and Lipids; Trace Elements and Metabolic Bone Disease; and Archaeological Diets and Health. Discussed within this framework of development and aging are the growth and endocrine disturbances associated with undernutrition and the variable composition of infant formulae. The impact of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, magnesium and trace elements on the normal and pathophysiology of bone matrix synthesis, mineral metabolism, osteoporesis and fractures are considered. The text is also rich in often-overlooked lessons from archaeological research on dietary specializations.

Synopsis
A comprehensive reference on the role of nutrition in bone development, this book covers not only bone growth in children, but foetal bone formation and the ageing of the skeleton in adults. The first half of the book is a general discussion of skeletal development and the role of nutrition in bone metabolism; the second half analyses specific substances and describes how their deficiency or overabundance in the diet can affect bone growth and function. Five informative chapters discuss osteoporosis and calcium metabolism. Examining all aspects of the role of nutrition in bone growth and formation, this informative book makes a vital contribution to an important area of nutrition study and skeletal development.
