Age at menarche is an important indicator of pubertal timing. Early menarche has been linked to many negative health outcomes during adolescence and in later life. Therefore it's important to recognise that 'Development is not the same as ageing' https://t

Puberty is a crucial period in the life course when gender norms can undermine freedoms & increase challenges of negotiating life for optimal mental well-being & SRH #puberty #adolescents #Developmentisnotthesameasageing https://t.co/ldaSC97F5Z

On matters of adolescent public health, age is often treated as a proxy for developmental stage, yet the two are very different concepts & this lack of distinction neglects important biological processes impacting well-being of adolescents https://t.co

With all the media attention on in utero exposure to toxins today, did you know there is growing evidence that puberty is starting at younger ages with exposure to harmful environmental substances causing endocrine disruption https://t.co/ldaSC97F5Z

Adolescents mature at different rates - don't give up hope #developmentisnotthesameasageing https://t.co/szghKXHbNm

Thanks for the mention @AndreaGeckova https://t.co/V5sxOouDCe

In adolescent public health, age is very often treated as a proxy for developmental stage, and yet the two are very different concepts and this lack of distinction neglects important biological processes that impact the well-being of young people: https://

The complexity of contemporary family life seems to have an important influence on pubertal processes which can accelerate girls’ reproductive lives: https://t.co/szghKXpAoM

Obesity is a key factor in adolescent reproductive and mental health. Girls with high BMI are more likely to have early puberty, and European countries with higher levels of obesity among girls show younger age of menarche: https://t.co/ldaSC97F5Z

Far less is known about boys’ than girls' pubertal timing; its determinants and its health consequences. Menarche is used in surveys as a simple, reliable marker for girls, but spermarche in boys is rarely used due to perceived sensitivity: https://t.co/sz

Really interesting article. Last para: we know less about male pubertal development because it's harder to measure than in females - important gap in knowledge. Development is not the same as ageing: the relevance of puberty to health of adolescents http

To understand the wellbeing of adolecents we have to consider they are not just ageing between 10 -19 but experiencing profound changes associated with puberty that influence how they feel about themselves, their bodies and their relationships: https://t.
