Adequate nutrition is needed for optimal bone health, cognitive function, and body composition throughout childhood. It is well recognized that milk and dairy foods provide important macro- and micronutrients that are required for normal growth and development from infancy through adolescence.

Pre-proposals on short-term interventions or observational cohort analyses are recommended.
