Abstract

Introduction: We aim to investigate the relationship between individuals' perceptions of their neighbourhood environment and early menarche.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of 7,486 girls of Ethiopia, India, South Korea, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US), born in 1997-2011 was analysed. Early menarche was defined as being below the 10th to 20th percentiles in each cohort, considering the varying distributions across countries. Perceived neighbourhood environments were assessed based on the responses for neighbourhood pollution, safety, and recreational facilities. We calculated the relative risk (RR) of early menarche for unfavourable environment.

Results: The mean age at menarche was lowest in South Korea (10.6 years) and highest in Ethiopia (13.7 years). Unfavourable environment was associated with higher risk of early menarche overall (RR = 1.34, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.09-1.65) and each country (3.03, 95% CI: 1.15-7.96 in Ethiopia; 1.99, 95% CI: 0.97-4.10 in India, 1.23, 95% CI: 0.67-2.27 in Korea; 1.26, 95% CI: 0.96-1.64 in the UK). Specifically, pollution (1.29, 95% CI: 1.03-1.62) and low safety (1.19, 95% CI: 1.60-1.88) were associated with early menarche.

Conclusions: Our finding highlights the potential role of perceived neighbourhood environment in the timing of puberty.

五个国家少女的邻里环境与月经初潮过早。

引言我们的目的是调查个人对邻里环境的看法与月经初潮过早之间的关系：这是一项回顾性队列研究，分析了埃塞俄比亚、印度、韩国、英国和美国 1997-2011 年出生的 7486 名女孩。考虑到各国的分布情况不尽相同，初潮过早被定义为在每个队列中低于第 10 至 20 百分位数。根据对邻里污染、安全和娱乐设施的回答，对感知的邻里环境进行了评估。我们计算了不利环境导致月经初潮提前的相对风险（RR）：结果：韩国的平均初潮年龄最低（10.6 岁），埃塞俄比亚最高（13.7 岁）。不利环境与总体（RR = 1.34，95% 置信区间[CI]：1.09-1.65）和每个国家（埃塞俄比亚为 3.03，95% CI：1.15-7.96；印度为 1.99，95% CI：0.97-4.10；韩国为 1.23，95% CI：0.67-2.27；英国为 1.26，95% CI：0.96-1.64）较高的月经初潮风险相关。具体而言，污染（1.29，95% CI：1.03-1.62）和低安全性（1.19，95% CI：1.60-1.88）与初潮提前有关：我们的研究结果凸显了感知的邻里环境在青春期时间上的潜在作用。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
