68 Psychosocial predictors of pubertal timing: A systematic review

摘要

The psychosocial predictors of pubertal timing include a variety of variables that can be grouped into four large categories: SES, family environment, race, and childhood maltreatment. However, much of the research regarding predictors of pubertal timing examines these categories of predictors separately, which is problematic as many of these factors are closely related. As such, it is important to examine multiple psychosocial predictors of pubertal timing simultaneously.
