The Increase in Early Menarche is Associated With the Increase in Chronic Back Pain in Female Adolescents
The increase in the prevalence of CBP in female adolescents observed over the last decade may be explained, in part, by the decrease in the age of menarche. This finding, coupled with research showing a decline in early menarche worldwide, highlights the need to delve deeper into the underlying mechanisms of the association between early menarche and pain-particularly CBP-in female adolescents.
