Dietary pattern and precocious puberty risk in Chinese girls: a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The role of dietary intake on precocious puberty remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between the amount and frequency of dietary intake and the risk of precocious puberty in Chinese girls.

Methods
