Metabolic trajectories across early adolescence: differences by sex, weight, pubertal status, and race/ethnicity.

Conclusions: Change in metabolic biomarkers across early adolescence differed by sex, weight status, pubertal status, and race/ethnicity. Some of the metabolic changes may reflect normal physiological changes of puberty, while others may presage future disease risk. Future studies are warranted to link metabolic changes during adolescence to long-term health. PMID: 31264447 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
