Background: The development of osteoporosis is influenced by peak bone mass attained in youth - the influence of lifestyle factors upon which is poorly described, especially amongst males. We sought to address this issue in a large scale study.Methods: Hip bone mineral density (dual X-ray absorptiometry, DXA), bone microarchitecture (calcaneal quantitative ultrasound, QUS) and femoral geometry (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) were characterised in 723 healthy male military recruits (mean +/- S.E. age 19.92 +/- 0.09 years [range 16-18 years], height 177.67 +/- 0.24 cm, weight 73.17 +/- 0.37 kg) on entry to UK Army training. Association was sought with prior physical activity, smoking status and alcohol intake.Results: DXA measures were made in 651, MRI measures in 650, and QUS measures in 572 recruits. Increasing levels of weight-bearing physical activity enhanced periostial bone apposition, increases in both total hip and femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD; p
