. The final sample included a total of 193 patients. Association between dietary patterns and precocious puberty in children: a population-based study. She wondered whether girls with early breast development were more likely to be sexually abused, but she could not find any data keeping track of puberty onset in girls in the United States. Around the time that Dr. Herman-Giddens published her landmark study, Dr. Juuls research group examined breast development in a cohort of 1,100 girls in Copenhagen. Kliegman RM, et al. In many cases, no cause can be found for the disorder. Accessed March 7, 2019. On average, girls complete linear growth at 15 years of age and boys at 17 years of age. c There existed significant differences between the overweight and obesity groups. In the overweight and obese group, the satisfaction rate was significantly lower (p < 0.001). Table 316,9 and Table 415,7,8 summarize history and physical examination findings in the evaluation of early and delayed puberty. Epub 2021 Feb 2. Percent body fat at age 5 predicts earlier pubertal development among girls at age 9. Timing of maturation and predictors of menarche in girls enrolled in a contemporary British cohort. Causal arrows are difficult to draw, however. Karlberg J. Secular trends in pubertal development. eCollection 2017. -. Abstract Growth in precocious puberty is a subject of concern to families and clinicians alike. Disclaimer, National Library of Medicine We are experimenting with display styles that make it easier to read articles in PMC. Nonhuman studies and studies older than 10 years were excluded. Furthermore, . Lee S.S., Oh G.J. Anthropometric data, including age, height, and weight, were acquired from medical records at the time of diagnosis. All analyses were carried out using R (version 3.6.3; The R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria), and a two-sided p-value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Patients with early isolated pubertal changes, prepubertal linear growth, and no. Investigating the relationship between precocious puberty and obesity: a cross-sectional study in Shanghai, China. 2021 May;72(2):573-581. doi: 10.1007/s12020-021-02630-3. A total of 193 children (93.3% girls) diagnosed with precocious puberty were classified into three groups according to their obesity levels. That did not seem right, said Dr. Herman-Giddens, who is now an adjunct professor at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health. Or, he wondered, had parents and doctors become hysterical because of the news coverage of Dr. Herman-Giddenss study? https://clinicalkey.com. You may notice problems with p-Values were obtained from logistic regression. Federal government websites often end in .gov or .mil. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the association between precocious puberty and general obesity and central obesity. In: Pediatric Physical Diagnosis. 25.98% and 38.58% of boys with precocious puberty were respectively accompanied by obesity (OR=2.15, 95% CI=1.31 to 3.50) or central obesity (OR=2.10, 95% CI=1.46 to 3.03); meanwhile, 13.86% and 29.42% of girls with precocious puberty were respectively accompanied by obesity (OR=9.00, 95% CI=5.60 to 14.46) or central obesity (OR=5.40, 95% CI=4.10 to 7.12). The causes for this type are difficult to identify, although, in rare cases it may be brought on by: A tumor in the brain or spinal cord (Central Nervous System). Central precocious puberty (CPP) is diagnosed when premature activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis occurs. Ferri FF. Girls with signs of puberty before eight years of age and boys with signs of puberty before nine years of age should be evaluated for precocious puberty. Family composition and socioeconomic status according to obesity status. Marcia Herman-Giddens first realized something was changing in young girls in the late 1980s, while she was serving as the director for the child abuse team at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. During evaluations of girls who had been abused, Dr. Herman-Giddens noticed that many of them had started developing breasts at ages as young as 6 or 7. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/19/science/early-puberty-medical-reason.html, endocrine disrupters affect puberty in boys. government site. But the study turned out to be a watershed in the medical understanding of puberty. Keywords: Linear regression was utilised to compare the effects of WHtR and body mass index (BMI) on sex development indicators. However,. Subjects anthropometric and biochemical data are shown in Table 1. The data are presented as number (%) or the mean standard deviation. Does self-esteem affect body dissatisfaction levels in female adolescents? It may be caused by tumors or growths on the ovaries, adrenal glands, pituitary gland, or brain.

Clin. Interaction with parents can have a significant impact on the emotional, social, and psychological experiences of precocious children, so it is important to encourage parents to recognize the importance of a more positive assessment and emotional interaction with children. Obese children with precocious puberty had higher negative awareness and dissatisfaction with their body shape and reported inappropriate dietary habits. A decade later, she published a study of more than 17,000 girls who underwent physical examinations at pediatricians offices across the country. All rights reserved. Declining age of puberty of school girls in southern Thailand. The rate of obesity for both fathers and mothers was significantly higher in the overweight group, at 41.9% (p = 0.001).

Children who were not satisfied at all with their body shape had a higher OR for obesity. c There existed a significant difference between the overweight and obesity groups. The big takeaway is that theres few publications and a paucity of data to explore this question, said Dr. Russ Hauser, an environmental epidemiologist at the Harvard T.H. eCollection 2022. Treatment of precocious puberty. A person viewing it online may make one printout of the material and may use that printout only for his or her personal, non-commercial reference. Mice and people with certain genetic mutations in this region experienced later sexual development. In 1999, he argued that the age cutoff for normal puberty should be lowered to age 7 in white girls and 6 in Black girls. Still, she added, many girls who develop early are not overweight. In the decade after the Herman-Giddens study, Dr. Juul began noticing an increase in the number of referrals for early puberty in Copenhagen, mostly of girls who were developing breasts at 7 or 8 years old. Mayo Clinic is a not-for-profit organization. Central precocious puberty (CPP) is caused by abnormality in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis. Testosterone is responsible for the growth and development of male sexual characteristics. But, there are things you can do to reduce your child's chances of developing precocious puberty, including: Mayo Clinic does not endorse companies or products. Other causes may include central nervous system problems, family history of the disease, or certain rare genetic syndromes. Studies have shown that obese children with precocious puberty have inappropriate eating habits and lifestyles such as short mealtimes, frequent beverages, lack of exercise, and prolonged TV viewing [30,31]. Accessed March 7, 2019. FOIA Selecting items of a food behavior checklist for the development of Nutrition Quotient (NQ) for children. Dr. Juul has become one of the most vocal proponents of an alternate theory: that chemical exposures are to blame. Pearson N., Timperio A., Salmon J., Crawford D., Biddle S.J. Rhie Y.J., Lee K.H. Onset of breast and pubic hair development and menses in urban Chinese girls. What Causes Precocious Puberty Precocious puberty can be triggered by tumors in the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, ovaries, or testicles. The NQ scores, which reflect a comprehensive evaluation of childrens nutrition status and eating habits, are shown in Table 4. Effects of exogenous oestrogens. What causes precocious puberty? Instead, the cause is release of estrogen or testosterone into the body because of problems with the ovaries, testicles, adrenal glands or pituitary gland. In a 2009 study of nearly 1,000 school-aged girls in Copenhagen, his team found that the average age of breast development had dropped by a year since his earlier study, to a little under 10, with most girls ranging from 7 to 12 years old. No one knows what risk factor or more likely, what combination of factors is driving the age decline or why there are stark race- and sex-based differences. Make an appointment with your child's doctor for an evaluation if your child has any of the signs or symptoms of precocious puberty. The significant factors related to obesity were the awareness of a fatty body image and dissatisfaction, obesity of the parents, and the NQ. But, unlike doctors in the United States, he did not think obesity was to blame: The body mass index of the Danish children in the 2009 cohort was no different than it had been in the 1990s. Products & Services If puberty begins younger than those cutoffs, doctors are supposed to screen the child for a rare hormonal disorder called central precocious puberty, which can spur puberty as early as infancy. Conversely, the less affection from the parent, the more the childs behavior is likely to become negative [28].

The Different Effects of Skeletal Muscle and Fat Mass on Height Increment in Children and Adolescents Aged 6-11 Years: A Cohort Study From China. The logistic regression analysis results for factors affecting obesity status are shown in Table 5. Constitutional delay of growth and puberty is a common cause of delayed puberty; however, functional or persistent hypogonadism should be excluded. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients. 1 Model: adjusted for age, sex, current family composition, numbers of siblings, economic level, and education level. Its unclear whether the trend was caused by increased stress, a more sedentary lifestyle or parents being in close enough quarters with their children to notice early changes. Precocious puberty is pubertal onset before eight years of age in girls and before nine years of age in boys. For decades, medical textbooks have defined the stages of puberty using the so-called Tanner Scale, which was based on close observations between 1949 and 1971 of about 700 girls and boys who had lived in an orphanage in England. This work was supported by the Soonchunhyang University Research Fund. The views expressed in this publication are those of the authors and do not reflect the official policy or position of the Departments of the Army, Navy, or Air Force; the Department of Defense; or the U.S. government. Precocious puberty was identified by Tanner stage of breast, pubic hair and testicle development. Hayward C., Killen J.D., Wilson D.M., Hammer L.D., Litt I.F., Kraemer H.C., Haydel F., Varady A., Taylor C.B. Body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) was calculated using the measured height and weight, and BMI z-scores, adjusted for the influence of age and gender, were calculated based on the 2017 Korean national growth charts for children and adolescents provided by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [11]. Data from the Shanghai Children's Health, Education and Lifestyle Evaluation (SCHEDULE) study in June 2014. " Idiopathic" precocious puberty is the commonest cause of GDPP; . Metab. ; writingoriginal draft preparation, Y.J.W. Korea Centers for Disease Control & Prevention Standard Development Diagram of Child and Adolescent. In contrast to the many monogenic causes associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, only four monogenic causes of central precocious puberty (CPP) have been described. In cases of hyperandrogenic findings, measuring serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and 17-hydroxyprogesterone is indicated. Central obesity was defined by sex-specific waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) cut-offs (WHtR 0.48 for boys, WHtR 0.46 for girls). eCollection 2022. Environmental causes would fall under gipp, such as ingesting drugs or material containing sex-steroid hormones. In girls, dull pink vaginal mucosa suggests estrogen exposure; virilization (e.g., clitoromegaly) should be excluded.47,9,27, The thyroid, abdomen, and neurologic system should be examined for evidence of thyroid or gastrointestinal disease or intracranial pathology. Abnormal pubertal timing can adversely affect a child's physical and psychosocial well-being and may be caused by a range of generally benign or pathologic etiologies. Some girls are starting to develop breasts as early as age 6 or 7. Causes and risk factors. The associations between the BMI of the children and the parents were evaluated by Pearsons correlation coefficient analysis. Precocious puberty: Precocious puberty is pubertal development before age 8 in girls and age 9 in boys.The causes are either gdpp) early developmental signals from the brain, or gipp) abnormal steroid production such as from tumors or ingesting hormonal medication. (Father, OR for overweight = 1.67; 95% CI: 0.991.62; OR for obesity = 2.53; 95% CI: 2.013.65; mother, OR for overweight = 1.21; 95% CI: 0.931.84; OR for obesity = 1.86; 95% CI: 1.352.29.) This form of precocious puberty is called central precocious puberty, or CPP. Drug and Therapeutics and Executive Committees of the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society. The mean BMI of the fathers was 25.3 3.0 kg/m2 and was highest among fathers of those in the overweight group (p = 0.014). BMI, body mass index; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase. Physicians must identify which findings are suitable for surveillance over time and which suggest treatable underlying pathology. The causes of central precocious puberty include: Brain tumors Prior radiation to the brain Prior infection of the brain Other brain abnormalities Peripheral Precocious Puberty This form of early puberty is also called gonadotropin-independent precocious puberty.

The nutrition quotients (NQs) for children developed by the Korean Nutrition Society is widely used in nutrition research with Korean children, as it can comprehensively evaluate childrens nutritional status by examining their dietary quality, nutrient intake, and dietary behavior through a survey [15,16,17]. Precocious puberty. For delayed puberty, a history suggestive of underlying chronic disease (e.g., fatigue, pain, abnormal stools), nutrition and exercise patterns, poor psychosocial functioning, cryptorchidism, anosmia [i.e., in Kallmann syndrome]) is important. In central precocious puberty, the brain releases GnRH at a younger-than-normal age and starts the process. 2017 Aug 23;7(8):e014004corr1. Precocious puberty, resulting in various physical, mental, and social changes, may have negative consequences for children and their families.

Elevated estradiol levels in the setting of low LH may suggest an estrogen-secreting tumor.6 Hypothyroidism and exogenous steroid use should be excluded. . Obesity & Precocious Puberty in Males Symptom Checker: Possible causes include Hypothalamic Lesion. In central precocious puberty, the HPG axis is activated, resulting in early but normal development, symmetric progression of secondary sexual characteristics, and increasing growth velocity.6,9,32 Central precocious puberty is approximately 10-fold more common in girls than in boys.33 Although usually idiopathic in girls, it can be incited by head trauma, neoplasm, radiation, or genetic conditions.5,6,9 Pathologic causes of central precocious puberty are more common in boys.5,6,9, Peripheral precocious puberty occurs when hormonal influences originating outside of the HPG axis produce incomplete, atypically sequenced or rapid pubertal progression.5,6,9 Quickly progressing or significant hyperandrogenic findings may warrant workup for congenital adrenal hyperplasia or an androgen-secreting tumor. A notable result was that parents negative perceptions or dissatisfaction were greater than that of their children. A lower NQ was significantly affected by the obese status of children, especially diversity, moderation, and practice. Socioeconomic growth and the improvement of health status in Korea have tended to accelerate puberty, and the number of children with precocious puberty is rapidly increasing [9]. That lack of data has led many scientists to be skeptical of the theory, said Dr. Hauser, who recently reported on how endocrine disrupters affect puberty in boys. Data Sources: A PubMed search was completed using the MeSH function with the key term puberty and at least one of the following qualifiers: early, precocious, delayed, absent, or disorder.
