Los mayores picos de mineralización se producen en los primeros 2 años de vida y la pubertad, en los que la masa ósea aumenta 40% y 60%; a los 20 años se estabiliza y, luego, se inicia una pérdida progresiva. El volumen de masa ósea es variable según la edad, el sexo y la raza, es afectado por factores ambientales, genéticos, hormonales y nutricionales. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer el impacto de los hábitos relacionados con el proceso de mineralización durante la etapa de la juventud. Los participantes completaron una ficha clínica. La densidad mineral ósea fue valorada por medio de densitometría, se midieron los niveles de calcio en orina para identificar posibles pérdidas, se calculó el índice de masa corporal (IMC) a partir del peso y la talla. El 5% de la población participante presentó un Z-score inferior a -2,0 y los factores relacionados fueron consumo de cafeína, alcohol y poca actividad física.Abstract The highest peaks of mineralization is in the first two years of life and puberty, bone mass increases 40% to 60%, at twenty stabilizes and begins a gradual loss. The volume of bone mass varies according to age, sex and race, which affect environmental, genetic, hormonal and nutritional factors. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the habits related mineralization process during the stage of youth. Participants completed clinical record. BMD was assessed by densitometry; Calcium levels were measured in urine for loss, BMI was calculated from weight and height. 5% of the participating population present a Z-score less than -2,0 and related factors were caffeine, alcohol and little physical activity.
