Overall, our patients had a satisfactory vitamin D status. We did not find any correlation between vitamin D status and the characteristics of central precocious puberty. Further studies are required to confirm this hypothesis. What is known: • Vitamin D status seems to affect gonadal hormones and fertility. • Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to earlier puberty and was associated with earlier menarche. What is new: • 25OHD of 145 girls with precocious puberty was similar to or higher than that of healthy French children or adolescents. • We did not find any correlation between vitamin D status and puberty characteristics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
