Why puberty starts earlier nowadays?

1.53K viewsBiologyOther

I’ve seen a study which found that the age of puberty (especially female puberty) is dropping rapidly. In 1860 it started around 16.8 and in 2010 it was 10.8. Why is that? Is there any explanation?

Both have long term problems on health when they are present for too long. My point is that obesity is ALSO bad.

But this is now a moot point because I have since realized he said “fatter” not “obese”. Fatter than malnourished is healthy. Fatter than healthy is obese. I didn’t take context into account.
