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