The junior high school and high school years are the periods during which development spurts occur, and bone mass increases including height and weight. The bone mass gain at this time has a big influence on the maximum bone mass, which also leads to prevention of future osteoporosis. Calcium intake is important for bone mass acquisition, but there is a divergence between the value indicated by the meal intake standard and the actual intake amount, and efforts to increase the calcium intake amount are necessary. From the results obtained by providing milk with school lunch, the significance of drinking milk as a source of calcium at this time is particularly large.
