Retrospective cohort study reveals breastfeeding lowers risk of central precocious puberty, implying nutrition's role in development.

Breastfeeding in the first 4 to 6 months lowers the risk of central precocious puberty in both boys and girls.
Formula-fed children had a higher risk of precocious puberty, with adjusted hazard ratios of 1.16 for boys and 1.60 for girls.
Retrospective cohort analysis utilized data from 322,731 children, assessing associations between feeding practices and puberty onset.
Findings highlight that early-life nutrition plays a critical role in pubertal timing, with prepubertal adiposity partially mediating the association.

Choe et al. (2025) studied this question.
