Evaluation and comparison of nine growth and development-based measures of pubertal timing [PDF]

Communications Medicine, 2023
Background Pubertal timing is heritable, varies between individuals, and has implications for life-course health. There are many different indicators of pubertal timing, and how they relate to each other is unclear.

Association between exposure to persistent organic pollutants and pubertal timing in boys and girls: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
In recent years, the phenomenon of abnormal pubertal timing in children has become increasingly common worldwide. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) may be one of the risk factors contributing to this phenomenon, but the relationship between them is ...

The role of brain structure in the association between pubertal timing and depression risk in an early adolescent sample (the ABCD Study®): A registered report

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2023
Background: Earlier pubertal timing is associated with higher rates of depressive disorders in adolescence. Neuroimaging studies report brain structural associations with both pubertal timing and depression.

Genetics of pubertal timing

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2022
Puberty marks the end of childhood and is a period when individuals undergo physiological and psychological changes to achieve sexual maturation and fertility. The onset of puberty is first detected as an increase in pulsatile secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

Childhood trauma, earlier pubertal timing, and psychopathology in adolescence: The role of corticolimbic development

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2023
Earlier pubertal development appears to be one pathway through which childhood trauma contributes to psychopathology in adolescence. Puberty-related changes in neural networks involved in emotion processing, namely the amygdala-medial prefrontal (mPFC ...

Role of Posterodorsal Medial Amygdala Urocortin-3 in Pubertal Timing in Female Mice

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Post-traumatic stress disorder impedes pubertal development and disrupts pulsatile LH secretion in humans and rodents. The posterodorsal sub-nucleus of the medial amygdala (MePD) is an upstream modulator of the hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone

"Puberty age gap": new method of assessing pubertal timing and its association with mental health problems. [PDF]

Mol Psychiatry, 2023
Puberty is linked to mental health problems during adolescence, and in particular, the timing of puberty is thought to be an important risk factor. This study developed a new measure of pubertal timing that was built upon multiple pubertal features and ...

Prospective associations of mid-childhood plasma per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and pubertal timing

Environment International, 2021
Background: Exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may disrupt pubertal timing. Higher PFAS plasma concentrations have been associated with later pubertal timing in girls, but cross-sectional findings may be explained by reverse causation.

Pubertal Timing and Health-Related Quality of Life—A Cross-Sectional Study of Polish Adolescents [PDF]

Pediatric Reports
Background/Objectives: In research on the relationship between pubertal timing and adolescent health, more attention is typically given to early rather than late maturation, as well as the associated risk of engaging in health-compromising behaviors. The

Risk of selection bias due to non-participation in a cohort study on pubertal timing. [PDF]

Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, 2020
BackgroundNon-participation in aetiologic studies of pubertal timing is frequent. However, little effort has been given to explore the risk and potential impact of selection bias in studies of pubertal timing.ObjectiveWe aimed to explore the risk of ...
