Early age at menarche and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors: mediation by body composition in adulthood

Abstract Evidence suggests that early menarche increases cardiometabolic risk, and adiposity would be a possible mediator of this association. We assessed the association between age at menarche and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors and estimated the indirect effect of body composition in adulth...
