Could obesity be a factor in delaying puberty?
Top Replies
Yes, I've seen some research suggesting that there might be a connection between obesity and delayed puberty. Obesity can lead to hormonal imbalances, which could potentially impact the onset of puberty. However, more research is needed to fully understand this relationship.
It's important to note that there are many factors that can contribute to delayed puberty, including genetics, stress, and chronic illness. Obesity is just one possible factor among many. It's always best to consult with a healthcare provider if you have concerns about puberty or any other health issue.
For those looking to manage their weight and improve their overall health, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a balanced diet can be helpful. Remember, it's always best to make these changes gradually and in consultation with a healthcare provider.
