yang ada di dalam susu terhadap kesehatan tulang dan pertumbuhan
tinggi tubuh. Metode yang digunakan adalah survey menggunakan angket
online. Sebanyak 30 partisipan diambil secara acak terdiri dari
perempuan (n=25) dan laki-laki (n=5). Hampir seluruh partisipan
meminum susu secara rutin dan merasakan khasiat dari zat-zat di dalam
susu tersebut. Zat-zat yang terkandung didalam susu seperti kalsium,
vitamin D dan fosfor dapat membuat tulang sehat dan juga berpengaruh
dalam penambahan tinggi tubuh. Semakin banyak susu yang dikonsumsi
seseorang baik saat kecil maupun dewasa akan berpengaruh kepada

But a study concluded that milk is one of the
important sources of nutrients needed to
support the growth and development of
children. At puberty, in addition to supporting
the role of growth, milk also plays a role in
achieving optimal bone mass to prevent
osteoporosis in the old days (Maulana, 2014)

CONCLUSION
The substance in milk such as Calcium,
Phospor and Vitamin D are really good for
bone health, to prevent one of bone desease
such as osteoporosis. The substance also help to
develop body height no matter how frequent
people consumed milk because the differences
in height are also influenced by genetic and
bone development effected by environmental
factors, such as residence.
