Abstract

Puberty refers to physical transitions that occur in the body of adolescents, taking them from a stage of sexual immaturity to sexual maturity. Nowadays, it is being observed that more and more girls are attaining menarche at an age less than ten years, so the age of onset of Puberty being somewhere around 7.5 to 8 years. The reasons and implications are manifold. Early age of onset of puberty is a risk factor for ovarian and breast malignancies and also for a number of chronic diseases. The present article expresses author’s opinion regarding the issue on the basis of recent literature and tries to highlight the reasons responsible for this, especially in the current scenario and discusses modifiable factors so that the process can be halted.
青春期开始年龄的下降——一个值得关注的问题
青春期是指发生在青少年身体上的生理转变,使他们从性不成熟阶段进入性成熟阶段。如今,据观察,越来越多的女孩在不到10岁的时候就开始月经初潮,所以青春期开始的年龄在7.5到8岁之间。原因和影响是多方面的。过早进入青春期是卵巢和乳腺恶性肿瘤以及一些慢性疾病的危险因素。本文在最近文献的基础上表达了作者对这一问题的看法,并试图突出造成这一问题的原因,特别是在目前的情况下,并讨论了可改变的因素,以便停止这一进程。
