  5. The range of attainment of various stages of puberty in females (PAG books) Breast Development Stages 2 3 4 5 Pubic Hair Stages 2 3 4 5 Regular Menses Menarche Axillary Hair Max. Growth Rate Age (Yrs) 8 10 12 14 16

  6. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle * the secular trend toward earlier pubertal development * earlier onset of puberty (Herman-Giddens, US) - cross-sectional - clinically based study prevalence of B2/P2 at age - 8 years - 15% white girls - 48% black significant increase in the percentage of girls entering puberty at an earlier age / than previously reported * the age of puberty onset has fallen substantially

  7. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle . Environmental signals Secondary sexual characteristics and menarche in young girls M. Herman-Giddens, Pediatrics 1997, 99, 4, 505 “increasing use of plastics, insecticides .… (environmental disrupting chemicals) should be investigated in relation to the earlier onset of puberty"

  10. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle * the secular trend toward earlier pubertal development theories and speculations 1 - overall improvement in socioeconomic conditions 2 - public health success (nutrition,  infection) 3 - effect of different types of diet (soy-based formulas) 4 - greater BMI(dietary intake, physical activity) 5 - change in social structures (stress = a puberty accelerator) 6 - hypersexualization of culture 7 - genetic differency among racial / ethic groups 8 - adaptive mechanisms ? 9 – endocrine disrupting chemicals (« xenoestrogens ») ++

  14. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle * Animal studies 1. Exposure to bisphenol A advances puberty (K.L. Howdeshell) prenatal exposure to a dose of bisphenol A comparable to levels found in the environment - postnatal growth rate ( weight) - accelerated the postpubertal ovulation ( puberty) Nature, 1999, 401, 763

  15. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle * Animal studies 2. Exposure of newborn female rats to environmental estrogens : sustained hyperprolactinemia and alterations in E2-Rc expression (S. Khurana, Endocrinology, 2000, 141, 4512) Bisphenol A: up-regulated ER expression . MBH . uterus in prepubertal rats

Environmental signals = chemical (EDCS) Mechanisms of action 1 - Activation of transcription of estrogen-dependent genes 2 - Reduction of transcriptional activity induced by androgens 3 - Transcriptional repression of downstream genes 4 – Impact on the Kiss-GPR-54 system 5 - Oncogenic effect 6 - Transgenerational impact 7 - Adipose tissue +

  23. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle * Epidemiological studies in girls (1) Michigan cohort (4000 individuals) : PCB . Breast-fed daughters of mothers with a high serum PCB = earlier menarche 11.6 years vs non-breastfed girls 12.5 years (2) The great lakes cohort . DDE (DDT) = lowers age of menarche

  24. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle Breastfed girls born to women who had been accidentally exposed to polybrominated biphenyls have a earlier menarche (11. 6 y) , vs (12.7 years) According to PBB levels in utero High exposure 11. 6 y Moderate exposure 12.2 y Low exposure 12.6 y Not breasfted 12.7 y Post-natal (translactational) exposure to biphenyl accelerate onset of puberty (H.W. Blank, Epidemiology, 2000, 11, 641)

  26. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle * Epidemiological studies in girls (3) BOURGUIGNON (2001) = adopted girls with CPP = DDE levels : 5 to 10 tms higher / native belgium girls (4) WANG (2005) National Children's study = exposure to EDCS in utero can alter - the growth of mammary glands - the age of onset of puberty of the offsprings

  27. Environmental disruptors and precocious puberty in adopted girls (M. Kristewska et al, 2001)

  29. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle * Epidemiological studies in girls (5) COLON ( 2000) = premature thelarche in girls / phtalates = phtalate levels x 5 (adipose tissues) (6) MASSART (2005) = Precocious puberty in girls from Toscany = Prevalence of CPP 16/10 000 / intensive agricultural area

  30. Premature thelarche: a consequence of environmental pollutants exposure? Mean: 12.31 ± 7.05 Controls: 3.53 ± 2.23 (p <0.01) Gaspari et al. submitted

  31. 4-month-old girl • vaginal bleeding (3 times) • B 3-4, marked pigmentation of mammary areola • no pubic hair • pelvic ultrasonography  uterine lenght 69 mm !!! • BA = CA • GnRH test - • Family living on a farm where 22 tons of several pesticides (p,p’-DDD, p,p’-DDT, lindane, endosulfan sulfate) • Father reported a decreased libido

  33. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle 1 – Secular trends in timing of puberty 2 – Environmental endocrine disruptors and early / precocious puberty - animal studies - in vitro data - studies in human 3 – Consequences of earlier maturation of girls 4 - Conclusion

  34. the secular trend toward earlier pubertal development • implications • As puberty has advanced • biological maturation has come to precede psychological and social maturation significantly • this developmental mismatch has considerable societal implications ++

  35. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle Consequences of early maturation of girls 1 - Greater weight and BMI 2 – Insulin resistance 3 – Metabolic syndrome 4 - PCOS 5– Cardio-vascular diseases 6 – Breast cancer risk ++

  36. Consequences of early maturation of girls

  37. International Journal ofObesity, 2005

  38. Les lolitas : environnement et précocité sexuelle Consequences of early maturation of girls 1 – Lower self-esteem during adolescence 2 – Lower level of body satisfaction 3 – Greater likewood of depression 4 – Greater likewood of earling disorders 5 – Greater perceived stress 6 – Greater vulnerability to peer pressures 7 – Younger age of sexual initiation 8 – Younger age of smoking and drug use 9 – Lower life-long academic achievement

  39. Pubertal timing, and not pubertal status, increases the risk of • negative psychological outcome • negative social outcome for the teenagers Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 2005

  40. Early maturing girls : at risk for 1 – psychosocial adaptation problems 2 – depression and anxiety 3 – problem behaviors / delinquency 4 – physical aggression, hostility, hyperactivity 5 – earlier sexual behaviors 6 – sex transmitted diseases 7 – pregnancy (  contraceptive methods) « Puberty acceleration hypothesis «  Child Psychiatry and Human Development, 2005

  41. Consequences of early pubertal timing 1 – Depression / physical changes 2 – Other internalizing symptoms (psychomatic ++) 3 – Eating disorders 4 – Poor academic performance 5 – Substance abuse 6 – Earlier initiation of sexual intercourse 7 - Delinquency DevRev, 2007

  42. * the secular trend toward earlier pubertal development a risk factor ? a sentinel ? simply an event to be anticipated sooner 1 - early hyperestrogenization can increase the risk of some reproductive cancers ! . earlier feminization can result in girls adopting "adult" roles and behaviours before they are emotionally "mature" 2 - earlier onset of puberty (premature thelarche ppp) could be an indicator of exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors +++ 3 - care has to be taken not to medicalize early puberty inappropriately !
