The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Now, the goal is for every age to stay as close as you can to your peak.
Your bones typically reach peak density between 25 and 30. After that they begin to steadily decline.
So BMD will actually potentially improve up to about the age of 30, but it it really peaks in the early 20s. It can stay quite flat uh certainly in both sexes till you're about 40 or 50 and then bone loss effectively sinks in.
So, remember the graph we showed a moment ago, figure five, we don't have to pull it up again, but remember how I said between about the ages of like 8 and 20, like BMD was doubling, right?
I mean, I think, the parallel that most people are most familiar with that we can, sort of, pick on and say, you know, women, in particular, are told that we can build bone mass up until probably about 30, men, it's about the same, that when women head towards the menopausal transition, that they're definitely going to lose bone mass. You want to start at a higher level as possible.
