What causes early puberty?
Possible reasons for early puberty are: • better nutrition, which leads to greater body mass and more body fat, which can start puberty • lack of exercise (in very active children, such as gymnasts, puberty starts later, so inactivity may start puberty earlier) • stress (girls whose parents divorce, for instance, may start puberty earlier) • chemicals in food (chemicals in food, and chemicals fed to chickens to get them to grow quicker, have caused early puberty in girls).
