What this trial studies

This observational cohort study aims to investigate the relationship between pediatric weight status and childhood growth environment on the development of puberty in children aged 6 to 12 years. Conducted across 40 primary schools in three cities in China, the study will involve anthropometric measurements and evaluations of various environmental factors reported by parents. Participants will be followed up over three years to assess the progression of puberty stages through clinical evaluations. The study seeks to clarify the underlying mechanisms linking obesity and precocious puberty.
