Birth size and age at menarche: a twin perspective [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 2013 Do birthweight (BW) and co-twin sex influence the age at menarche in twins?BW, but not co-twin sex, was associated with age at menarche in twins. However, BW was not associated with age at menarche after controlling for genetics and shared rearing environment.Nutritional deprivation during critical developmental periods can trigger long-term effects on
