Bone and body composition by DXA in girls with precocious puberty, premature thelarche, and prepubertal controls
Both CPP/EP and PT showed higher fat and lean mass than controls, with PT marked by greater central adiposity. Only overweight/obesity, and pubarche onset in PT, were associated with increased L1-L4 BMAD <i>Z</i>-scores. DXA provides additional insight into body composition and bone accrual in girls with early pubertal signs.
