Follow-up study of early growth and puberty timing
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study follows families from an earlier infant feeding study to better understand what affects when puberty starts. It looks at growth and hormone-related health information to explain differences in pubertal development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early study looks at how certain “male-type” hormones and brain signals (measured through hormone patterns during the day and night) work in adolescent girls with high androgen levels. It may help researchers better understand causes like PCOS and related hormone timing differences.
This study looks at how a girl’s body weight may affect the start and development of puberty. It may help researchers understand what influences puberty timing and development in girls who are not yet having periods.
This study looks at how puberty changes happen in healthy children and teens. By tracking normal development, researchers hope to better understand puberty timing and patterns.
This study looks at how children’s growth and weight relate to thinking, mood, and behavior. It may help researchers understand what patterns affect health and development so they can guide better support for families.
This study follows healthy 8‑year‑olds over time to understand how hormones and brain development change during puberty. Participants will have MRI scans, X‑rays, and other tests to track normal growth.
This study follows people who may have too much “androgen” (a hormone) to learn what causes it and how it changes over time. You may be followed even if the exact cause is not yet known, and your results may help doctors better understand these conditions.
