The average age at puberty was 3.59±0.17 years. The average weight velocity for all ten monkeys shows the maximum rate of weight gain to occur shortly after birth and decrease rapidly to its smallest prepubertal increment at nine months of age (weaning). From nine months there is a post-...
Studies in Nigeria found that approximately half of women studied had experienced FGM, with the frequency of occurrence positively correlated with age and negatively correlated with education. The age at which FGM occurs varies from birth to first pregnancy, but is most common in childhood – from...
Women tend to gain the most weight between the ages of 50 and 59. This is in comparison to men, who gain weight mostly during their 40s. At what age do women start losing the most weight on average? As women age, they not only shrink in height, but tend to weigh less too. The b...
Given that growth is commonly theorized to be a mechanism linking birth weight with age at puberty, we also found it a little surprising that the analytic strategies have not usually used modeling techniques that treat postnatal weight gain as a change measure, albeit with some notable exceptions...

A nutrient-dense diet is the foundation of healthy living. Women’s nutritional needs vary based on age, lifestyle, and hormonal changes, but the basics remain the same. Aim to fill your plate with whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats. These fo...
there is no maximum age at which a man is unable to father a child. However, a man’s sperm count and motility of sperm both decrease with age. Men over age 45 have been shown to take longer to achieve a pregnancy when trying to conceive. You may wish to discuss with your doctor ...
Over the recent years, female fertility problems and number of pregnancies resulting into negative outcomes have been on the rise becoming a matter of particular concern among women of childbearing age. The rise in the above adverse reproductive health outcomes could be partly attributed to the expos...
The average age for boys to enter puberty is 14 years old. Boys who mature earlier are looked upon as leaders as well as athletes, since they obtain increased muscle strength and speed at a younger age. On the other hand, boys who mature late are often teased; however, this usually ...
These distinct differences may be especially important with advancing age due to their in- fluence on functional performance. Leg lean mass was shown to be associated with balance in older women in addition to a greater weight to leg lean mass ratio being predictive of performance during gait ...
