Brief Summary

Osteoporosis is a condition defined by decreased bone mass. Osteoporosis generally affects older women and can lead to bone fractures. One way to prevent osteoporosis is to build strong, healthy bones during childhood. This study will evaluate a program designed to improve girls' bones. The program encourages eating foods rich in calcium and participating in physical activity.
