Earlier Mother's Age at Menarche Predicts Rapid Infancy Growth and Childhood Obesity (2007)
Ken K Ong, Kate Northstone, Jonathan CK Wells, Carol Rubin, Andy R Ness, Jean Golding, ...
BackgroundEarly menarche tends to be preceded by rapid infancy weight gain and is associated with increased childhood and adult obesity risk. As age at menarche is a heritable trait, we hypothesised...

A study with 5,500 12-year-olds shows an inverse association between physical activity and obesity, which is stronger in boys, and suggests that high-intensity activity is more important than total...
Earlier Mother's Age at Menarche Predicts Rapid Infancy Growth and Childhood Obesity
Ong, Ken K, Northstone, Kate, Wells, Jonathan CK, Rubin, Carol, Ness, Andy R, Golding, Jean, ...
Earlier age at menarche may be a transgenerational marker of faster growth, particularly during infancy, leading to taller childhood stature but earlier maturation and hence shorter adult stature.
