Several factors can influence the strength of bones in children:
1. Nutrition: Adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D is essential. Calcium provides the necessary building blocks, while vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium. 2. Physical Activity: Regular weight-bearing exercises like running, jumping, and playing sports help stimulate bone growth and strength. 3. Genetics: Family history can play a role in determining bone density and strength. 4. Hormonal Factors: Hormones such as growth hormone and thyroid hormone significantly influence bone development.
