Childhood adversity and pubertal timing: understanding the origins of adulthood cardiovascular risk - abstract

Chris Engel 2/19/137:00 PM

Abstract

Objective

To determine whether greater childhood adversity relates to younger menarcheal age; whether younger menarcheal age relates to increased CVD risk; and whether greater childhood adversity relates to increased CVD risk, directly or indirectly (mediated by menarcheal age)....

Conclusions

Cross-sectional evidence suggests family-related adversity experiences in childhood confer risk for earlier menarche which, in turn, relates to increased CVD risk in adulthood, possibly via post-pubertal body size.
