- Responding to parental objections to school sexuality education: a selection of 12 objections (2008, background): “Since pubertal changes of early female maturers may become evident at about eight years of age (Parent et al. 2003), with a correspondingly early age of menarche; or at about nine years of age for boys, who may then experience spermarche earlier than the average age, this strongly supports a quality”
- Is there an epidemic of child or adolescent depression? (2006, background): “Current estimates suggest that between the 1960s and the early 1990s age at menarche dropped by only 2½ months; hardly enough to have had a substantial influence on rates of depression overall (Parent et al., 2003).”
- Assessing Risk for Sexual Recidivism: Some Proposals on the Nature of Psychologically Meaningful Risk Factors (2010, background): “The age difference is because of the later age of puberty for boys than for girls (Parent et al., 2003).”
- Kisspeptins and reproduction: physiological roles and regulatory mechanisms. (2012, background): “Although notable differences exist in the process of pubertal activation of the HPG axis across mammalian species, a key event in the onset of puberty is the progressive increase of the neurosecretory activity of GnRH neurons, which in turn maximally stimulates gonadotropin secretion to allow comple”
- Child health, developmental plasticity, and epigenetic programming. (2011, background): “Human growth rates differ markedly between individuals, particularly during the most rapid phases of growth, which occur during infancy and adolescence (193, 194).”
- Genetic confounding of the relationship between father absence and age at menarche (2017, background): “Age at menarche is a well-investigated life history trait (Ellis, 2004; Ellis, McFadyen-Ketchum, Dodge, Pettit, & Bates, 1999; Mul et al., 2002; Parent et al., 2003), with the prevailing hypothesis being that father absence – an aspect of the familial environment – results in earlier age at…”
- Sex Differences in Attachment Emerge in Middle Childhood: An Evolutionary Hypothesis (2010, background): “…& Linting, 2008: 7-year-olds; Gloger-Tippelt & Konig, 2007: 6-year-olds; Pannebakker, 2007: 7-year-olds) came from the Netherlands and Germany, where recent evidence indicates puberty is attained as much as 1 year later than it is in the United States or in Southern Europe (Parent et al., 2003).”
- Trends in psychopathology across the adolescent years: What changes when children become adolescents, and when adolescents become adults? (2011, background): “Over the past 100 years sexual maturation has begun ever earlier, while legal independence varies by country or state and topic (e.g., drinking, marrying, voting; Liu, Albertsson Wikland, & Karlberg , 2000; Parent et al., 2003).”
- Human Ovarian Reserve from Conception to the Menopause (2009, background): “In western society the average age of menarche is around 13 years([17]), with early breast development appearing around age 11 years.”
