Timing of the Pubertal Growth Spurt and Prostate Cancer [PDF]

Cancers, 2021
Previous studies of pubertal timing and the risk of prostate cancer have used self-reported markers of pubertal development, recalled in mid-life, and the results have been inconclusive. Our aim was to evaluate the age at the pubertal growth spurt, an objective marker of pubertal timing, and the risk of prostate cancer and high-risk prostate cancer ...

Determining the timing of pubertal onset via a multicohort analysis of growth

PLoS ONE, 2021
Objective Growth-based determination of pubertal onset timing would be cheap and practical. We aimed to determine this timing based on pubertal growth markers.

Pubertal timing, sex hormone levels, and associations between early life adversity and accelerated development amongst 11-year-old children of parents with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder and controls: The Danish high risk and Resilience study via 11

Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2023
Background: Children of parents with severe mental illness have several known risk factors for altered pubertal timing. Pubertal timing is important for children’s physical and emotional development.

Reduced pubertal growth in children with obesity regardless of pubertal timing

Endocrine Journal, 2020
Childhood obesity affects both pubertal growth and pubertal timing. We evaluated pubertal timing-mediated effects of childhood obesity on pubertal growth. This retrospective, representative-population-based cohort study included 6,733 boys and 6,916 girls born between April 1975 and March 1976 in Akita Prefecture, Japan.

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.
