Correlation between early puberty and cancer.

There is a study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that if you was born with lower birth weight, you will more likely to started puberty earlier. Moreover, babies who gain more weight in the first two year will also have a tendency to started puberty earlier too. The study also reviewed that early puberty can increased a risk of cancer(breast and testicular cancer).

The researcher study in a sample of 215 boys and girls. The resault show that the babies who was born at 2.5kg-3kg (5.5lbs-6.6lbs) will start puberty earlier than heavier babies about seven months. And the girl who gain more weight as infants are likely to start their puberty earlier. Anyway, Professor Anja Kroke the leader of this study told that they will need more research to explain or support about the function of physiology that related to this study. Besides, he also suggest that the best way to prevent their babies in order not to have a cancer is try to give their babie to have an appropriate weight, consume healthy food and have a good habit of eating.

When I read this article, I was very surprised that the cancer are linked with us since we were born. Now cancer is one of the most serious health problem that can cause death. Therefore, this kind of study is very useful for everybody because they will concern more about their children since they were born. Anyway, if there will have more research about this topic to be clear of the mechanism that link between weight, puberty and cancer, it will be good for us very much.
