Which of these factors, if identified in the history of the patient is most likely contribute to the development of osteoporosis later in life?
1. Women who have not transitioned through menopause
2. Older adults with suboptimal bone growth as a child or adolescent
3. Adults who routinely incorporate a variety of fortified milk products into their diet
4. Post-menopausal women who incorporate weight-bearing exercise into their exercise program
2
Rationale: Older adults with suboptimal bone growth as a child or adolescent are at risk for osteoporosis. Women are at greater risk for developing osteoporosis after they have transitioned through menopause related to accelerated bone loss. Fortified milk incorporated into the diet provides the essential requirement of calcium and vitamin D which decreases the risk for development of osteoporosis. Weight-bearing and resistance-training exercise help maintain bone loss.
