When in life does bone loss begin ?

Achieving peak bone mass

By age 18, skeletal growth is nearly complete, with minor accumulations in bone density occurring until around the age of 30. In women, between the ages of 30 and menopause, there tends to be minimal change in total bone mass. But in the first few years after menopause, most women experience rapid bone loss that slows, but persists, throughout the postmenopausal years.
