The aims of the present study was to investigate the incidence of E/PP in boys with MMC treated at a regional habilitation centre, and to identify possible risk factors associated with the development of early or precocious puberty. In addition we analyzed the clinical course of pubertal ...
About 1/3 of these girls will end up shorter than the 5th percentile of adult height. Many girls, however (particularly those beginning puberty after their 7th birthdays), will start puberty early, but still go through each of the stages at a more typical pace. While their “adolescent” ...
Girls who show clear signs of puberty and its progression before age 8 and boys before age 9 are considered precocious. It affects about 1 out of 5,000 children. Many experts say that on average, puberty is starting earlier in the U.S. than it did in the past. The average age when ...

Adolescents with an earlier onset of puberty were heavier in childhood and had an earlier timing and faster weight gain velocity in late adolescence. The intensity of adolescent weight gain was positively associated with adult BMI and fat mass index (FMI) in females. Early timing of adolescent BM...
Girls also carry more body fat than boys from birth, so we examined the relation of sex to REE as a possible explanation. SUBJECTS AND METHODS EarlyBird is a nonintervention prospective cohort study of healthy school entrants (x̄ age: 4.9 y) in the city of Plymouth, United Kingdom, ...
BMI during middle-late adulthood as well as in earlier stages of life could be critical for the development of PCa (Hsing, 1996; Giovannucci et al, 1997; Gapstur et al, 2002). However, only a limited number of prospective studies examined the relationship between BMI during early adulthood...
Animal studies and preliminary human studies suggest a strong impact of testosterone on limbic structures such as the hippocampus and amygdala. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine emotional processing in familial male-precocious puberty (FMPP), an extremely rare gonadotropin-...
Seven boys, aged 12.8-14.5 y, were in early puberty (genital stage G2) (13). Two boys had constitutionally delayed growth (nocturnal growth hor- mone peaks of more than 25 mU/L). The other five boys appeared healthy by physical examination. All 17 boys had followed their "growth ...
Objectives: To examine the association of prenatal and early childhood lead exposure with pubertal stages among 264 boys and 283 girls aged 9.8-18.0 years in Mexico City. Methods: We measured maternal bone lead (a proxy for cumulative fetal exposure to lead from maternal bone stores mobilized ...
