Serum phospholipid fatty acids are associated with bone mass in healthy 4-years-old children.

Bone mass development is important for later bone health. It is mainly determined by heredity, but foetal and early life have influence on bone track and bone morphology into old age [1 –3]. Bone modelling and remodelling are influenced by nutrition, hormones and physical activity, which also have an impact on fracture risk at all ages [4], less frequently reported in children [5–7]. Associations between fatty acid balance and bone development have mainly been studied in animal s [8–11] and adult humans [12–15].
