Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the timing of puberty. Body fat and/or body composition may play a role in regulating the onset of puberty. Puberty is associated with the development of secondary sex characteristics and rapid growth. Central precocious puberty (CPP) is puberty that occurs earlier than normal due to release of hormones from the hypothalamus of the brain.
While earlier sexual maturity now is common, Herman-Giddens does not think it is necessarily healthy. Earlier puberty is a very important public health indicator. It is like the canary in the coal mine, she says. Now the age of first puberty is getting lower and we have to ask why. And it is obviously important, for medical as well as social and psychological reasons, for parents and providers to know what is going on. It's not clear why there's been a shift toward earlier puberty. The new study does not provide answers to this question.
