Description
Doudou Guo and six co-authors wrote this 2024 review on early puberty in children and two forces that may shape it: vitamin D and gut microbes. The condition, called central precocious puberty, starts sexual growth before age eight in girls and nine in boys. It can shorten adult height and raise later cancer risk, so its causes matter.
The vitamin's receptor sits widely in the reproductive system and helps steer sex hormones and the growth of the sex organs. Gut microbes, in turn, sway hormone balance and energy use across the body. Proof on how the three threads join is still thin, the authors grant. Even so, they argue that topping up the vitamin and tuning gut microbes offer a gentle, non-invasive path worth testing for care of these children.
