Introduction: Knowledge of uterine and ovarian growth patterns during early age and puberty helps in investigating disorders of pubertal development i.e. precocious puberty, premature thelarche, or pubarche. There is a paucity of data for uterine and ovarian parameters. Aim of the study: The aim of this study is to present normative data for Uterine length, Mean ovarian volume (MOV), and fundo cervical ratio (FCR) from 5 to 16 years in healthy girls from north India and to correlate these parameters with age, weight, height, and pubertal Tanner staging. Material and methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed on 130 healthy girls age 5 to 16 years. Age, anthropometric parameters were measured and the pubertal stage was categorized using Tanner staging. All subjects underwent pelvic ultrasonography for the measurement of uterine and ovarian parameters. Results: Normative data of uterine length, MOV, and FCR were presented as mean, SD, median, and 95% confidence interval as per age and Tanner stage. A progressive increase in uterine length, MOV & FCR was observed with increasing age, weight, height, and Tanner stage (p < 0.001). A sudden significant increment in uterine length and MOV was observed between the age of 11-12 and 12-13 years (p < 0.001). Uterine length of < 4 cm, MOV < 2 cm 3 and FCR < 1 were specific to identify pre-pubertal girls. Conclusions: Normative data of uterine and ovarian parameters generated in our study by ultrasonography would be useful for screening girls with abnormalities of pubertal development.

“…We measured uterine length in our study and showed that it increased gradually throughout childhood with increasing age. As reported in other studies [ 12 , 14 ], our study also showed a sudden significant increment in uterine length at 11–12 and 12–13 years ( p < 0.001). This is probably in association with the pulsatility of GnRH.…”

“…The body fat tends to increase in girls with age, with variable values in different regions of India depending on pubertal stage, involvement in physical activity and quality of nutrition. For girls from rural areas (Assam region) values of BF=23.5% at 10 years and 26.1% at 12 years are obtained [35]. Similar aspects are highlighted for girls in Korea, where fat mass increases at puberty are found [36].…”

Background and Study Purpose. Body composition analysis by bioimpedance is a modern investigation method that provides additional and relevant information, compared to the classical assessment, based only on BMI levels. The purpose of the research is to compare body composition parameters for secondary school girls, according to the stages of puberty and to identify the differences that appear between these stages. Material and Methods. The investigated group was made up of 115 non-athlete girls from the urban environment, divided into two distinct age categories: 10-12 years/55 cases (Under 12 with age=10.97±0.40, BMI=19.53±3.71, percentiles BMI=65.52± 25.78) and 12-13 years/end of puberty/60 cases (Over 12 with age=12.30±0.30 BMI=20.72±3.62, BMI percentiles=66.13±28.23). The assessment carried out with Inbody 720/Biospace (Korea). Results. Reporting to the percentile ranges indicates the absence of Underweight cases for the Over 12 group and only 7.27% of the Under 12 group falls within these values. In both groups, the Normal Weight class dominates (67.27% for Under 12 and 63.34% for Over 12), and the percentages of Overweight and Obese cases are higher for Over 12 (23.33% and 13.33%, respectively). The distribution according to body composition indicates the slim type for about a quarter of the students of both groups, but also the placement of a large number of subjects in the Chubby/normal type category (29.10% for Under 12 and 20% for Over 12). According to the percentage of mass fat, the Over 12 group has a double percentage of Obesity for high level, compared to Under 12 group (23.33% vs. 10.90%). The Over 12 group has statistically higher values (P<0.05) for body fat mass (BFM), Skeletal lean mass (SLM), fat free mass (FFM), total body water (TBW), Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) and has a much higher number of cases reporting abdominal obesity/ waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) (33.34% vs. 14.55%). Conclusions. The analysis of body composition by bioimpedance allowed the precise identification of the ratio between the main components of the body, clearly highlighting the cases with problems related to the very high percentage of fat mass. In this sense, for many girls who fell according to the BMI percentiles in the Normal Weight category, the low percentage of muscle tissue and the excessive amounts of fat generated the reclassification in the Chubby/normal type or Obese/excessive fat type categories. The results confirm the increase in percentages of overweight and obese children for the last stage of puberty.

“…Predicted final adult height (PAH) was calculated using the Bayley Pinneau (BP) tables [ 15 ]. Uterine size, ovarian volume and fundo-cervical ratio was assessed by an ultrasound performed by a single radiologist and converted into Z-scores [ 16 ]. Gonadotrophin analogue stimulation test was performed by administration of inj leuprolide in 10 µg/kg sub-cutaneously followed by measurement of LH and FSH at 4 hours, LH, FSH and estradiol at 24 hours.…”

Aim of the study:To describe the clinical, auxological, biochemical and radiological response to GnRH analogue in female children with central precocious puberty (CPP). Material and methods:The data on 22 female children presenting with the larche < 8 years, pubarche < 8 years or menarche < 9 years diagnosed as CPP was collected from the records over a four year period. Assessment included growth parameters, Tanners staging; bone age (BA) by Greulich and Pyle method, ultrasonography of abdomen to assess uterine length and ovarian size and z score derived; biochemical evaluation included serum luteinising hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2); and MRI brain. The children were initiated on injection Leupride 0.9 mg/kg 3 monthly (body weight < 30 kg received 11.25 mg and > 30 kg received 22.5 mg). The predicted adult height (PAH) was calculated with Bayley Pinneau method. Results: Treatment was started at the mean chronological age (CA) of 6.09 ±2.1 years and continued till 8.3 ±2.4 years. MRI brain was abnormal in 4 children. Duration of treatment was 2.1 ±0.4 years. The height z scores reduced from 0.5 ±2.4 to 0.18 ±2.4 (p < 0.05). A significant reduction in tanner's stage, uterine size and ovarian volume was observed in the study period. BA/CA ratio reduced from 1.27 ±0.4 to 1.07 ±0.3. PAH z score improved from 1.47 ±1.6 to 0.2 ±2.3 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: We observed a good clinical and radiological response to GnRHa therapy in girls with CPP and a significant improvement in PAH. Long term follow up is needed to assess the attainment of final height
