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).

Rather than assume that global family patterns (e.g.

Regulation and Disorders of Pubertal Timing

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2005
Disorders of pubertal timing are common and challenging problems for pediatric endocrinologists. Early or late puberty can have immediate effects on a child's psychosocial well-being and may have long-term effects on adult stature. Much is known about the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, but the triggers of pubertal onset in the ...

Family Rearing Antecedents of Pubertal Timing

Child Development, 2007
Abstract Two general evolutionary hypotheses were tested on 756 White children (397 girls) studied longitudinally: (1) rearing experiences would predict pubertal timing; and (2) children would prove differentially susceptible to rearing.
