Association of Traditional dietary pattern with early and precocious puberty: a population-based cross-sectional study

CONCLUSIONS: Traditional dietary patterns were protective associated with early and precocious puberty among Chinese children.IMPACT: The Traditional dietary pattern was protective associated with early puberty or precocious puberty in children, as found in large-scale population-based public health research. Current research primarily focuses on Westernized dietary patterns, and we studied Traditional dietary patterns to further explore the influence of food on children's puberty development. We discovered that children's preference for Traditional dietary patterns is protective of pubertal development, which implies that society and parents can benefit from diet guidance to protect children's natural development during adolescence.PMID:38431666 | DOI:10.1038/s41390-024-03110-w
