Peak bone mass is an important factor for the lifetime risk of developing osteoporosis. Ways to predict bone development in young adulthood are lacking. Objective and Main Outcome Measures: The aim of this study was to investigate whether baseline measurements of bone turnover markers could predict bone development in early adulthood in men.
