Authors
Villamor, Eduardo; Marin, Constanza; Mora-Plazas, Mercedes; Baylin, Ana
Abstract
Early menarche is a risk factor for cardiometabolic disease and cancer. Latitude, which influences sun exposure, is inversely related to age at menarche. This association might be related to vitamin D, but to our knowledge it has not been investigated in prospective epidemiologic studies.
