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...

Ness, Andy R, Leary, Sam D, Mattocks, Calum, Blair, Steven N, Reilly, John J, Wells, Jonathan, ...

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
