Abstract:
Abstract:In China, the onset of puberty in children has been occurring increasingly earlier, coinciding with a rising prevalence of hypertension among adolescents. The association between early pubertal timing and hypertension has become a focal point of research. The study systematically examines the relationship between earlier pubertal timing of children and hypertension during both childhood and adulthood. It explores the underlying mechanisms from multiple perspectives, including sex hormone regulation, metabolic disorders, and psychological and behavioral factors. Furthermore, based on the principles of three level prevention, relevant intervention measures have been proposed to provide new evidence for advancing the prevention and control of hypertension starting in childhood.
