Abstract

Excerpt: Findings from cross-sectional epidemiological studies suggest that blood lead concentrations predict later development of secondary sexual characteristics and reproductive maturation in adolescent girls. Evidence on the role of prenatal lead exposure on puberty timing is lacking. We examined data from mother-daughter pairs enrolled in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) to determine this association.
