Role of Prenatal Characteristics and Early Growth on Pubertal Attainment of British Girls WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Rapid growth during infancy and childhood obesity predict earlier puberty attainment. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Many of the prenatal factors studied and weight and BMI gain during infancy seemed to exert comparable influences in the ages of breast, pubic hair, and menarche attainment assessed in the same girls.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
