“…Diet and body size in childhood are related to early breast development in Norway and percent breast density in the U.S. Specifically milk, butter and ice cream consumption at 3-5 years was inversely associated with early breast development in Norwegian girls aged 10.8 years (OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95-1.00) after adjustment for birthweight, preeclampsia, weight, and height and other covariates (22). A recent systematic review concluded there was a likely association between childhood animal protein intake and earlier puberty assessed by age at menarche and age at peak height velocity (23).…”

Breast cancer, the most common cancer in women worldwide, has recognized reproductive and anthropometric risk factors including age at menarche and adult height. Yet the age when a woman attains her adult height or experiences menarche for example is simply the timing of the major life event at the end of a long trail of exposures that began in utero. The objective of this article is to investigate through a review of the literature the role of nutrition in breast cancer prevention through three dimensions (D). Each D offers a different lens. The First D identifies windows/ages of exposures or conditions that convey vulnerability or protection from breast cancer. The Second D addresses the intensity and duration of the exposure; and the (Third D) examines the pace, i.e., how rapid or slow the young woman experiences her growth and development. Birthweight illustrative of the First D reveals a strong signal across the life course on BC risk, but the risk group varies from low to high birthweight. Stressful life events like being a pubertal aged girl living in a household with an unemployed father during the Great Depression or high levels of environmental contaminants exposure are representative of the Second D. Height velocity at specific ages and weight loss in postmenopausal years are illustrative of anthropometric trajectories that reveal an adaptive biosystem that provides a contextual state to interact with the other two Ds. This article presents a new paradigm of nutrition and breast cancer prevention through the lens of three very different dimensions. It is the premise of this article that all three dimensions are essential tasks to tease apart the life course and identify windows for preventive strategies.Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women across the world (1). A family history of breast cancer (BC), high breast density, reproductive risk factors including early age at menarche, late age at menopause, older age at first birth, and nulliparity, as well as being tall, moderate to high alcohol consumption, being physically inactive and menopausal status specific-body mass index are a constellation of recognized risk factors influencing BC risk (2, 3). Yet the age when a woman attains her adult height or experiences menarche for example is simply the timing of the major life event at the end of a long trail of exposures that began in utero. The tempo of height velocity and the peak height velocity that end in a woman's adult height, and the age of first birth and pace of occurrence (i.e., time interval between first and last births) are essential components to understanding the cumulative risk from adult height and parity on BC risk (4). Indeed profiling a woman's linear growth trajectory from birth across her life course may likely be key to identifying and understanding strategies for BC prevention.

“…To date, the influence of modifiable risk factors such as nutrition on puberty onset has been addressed: some [10][11][12], but not all [13][14][15] prospective observational studies suggested a role for dietary intakes of nutrients or food groups during pre-puberty: higher energy intake [16] and intakes of animal protein [10,12], milk [17,18], red meat [11], and sweetened soft drinks [19,20] were associated with earlier menarche, whereas higher intakes of total protein [21], carbohydrate [16], fiber [22], isoflavones [23], or yogurt [24] were related to later menarche. However, most of these studies [10][11][12][13][14][15][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] were focused solely on a single pubertal marker. The use of different pubertal markers covering the range from earlier [pubertal stage 2 for breast in girls/genital development in boys (B2/G2)] to later stages [menarche in girls or voice break in boys (M/VB)] of pubertal development might help to elucidate potential mechanisms involved.…”

Purpose The influences of nutrition in childhood on puberty onset could have sustained consequences for health and wellbeing later in life. The aim of this study was to investigate the prospective association of diet quality prior to puberty with the timing of puberty onset. Methods We considered data from 3983 SCCNG (Southwest China Childhood Nutrition and Growth) study participants with dietary data, anthropometric measurement, and information on potential confounders at their baseline assessment (mean age: 7.1 years for girls and 7.3 years for boys; mean length of follow-up was 4.2 years). Cox proportional hazard regression estimating hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to examine the relationship between diet quality and puberty onset. Dietary intake at baseline was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Diet quality was determined using the Chinese Children Dietary Index (CCDI) which measures adherence to current dietary recommendations (theoretical range: 0–160 points). Age at Tanner stage 2 for breast/genital development (B2/G2), menarche or voice break (M/VB) were used as pubertal markers. Results The CCDI score ranged from 56.2 to 136.3 for girls and 46.1–131.5 for boys. Pubertal markers consistently indicate that girls and boys with higher diet quality were more likely to enter their puberty later than their counterparts with lower CCDI scores (higher vs. lower CCDI tertiles: adjusted HR for age at B2: 0.85 (95% CI, 0.81–0.94), p for trend = 0.02; G2: 0.86 (95% CI,0.80–0.96), p for trend = 0.02; M: 0.86 (95% CI,0.80–0.95), p for trend = 0.02; VB: 0.86 (95% CI,0.79–0.98), p for trend = 0.03), after adjustment for paternal education level, baseline energy intake, and pre-pubertal body fat. Conclusions Our data suggested a later puberty onset and later timing of progressed puberty stages in children with a high diet quality, which were independent of pre-pubertal body fat.
