我们提倡这样一种观点，即青春期是一个独立的生物过程，是理解和影响健康和发展的“机会之窗”。首先，我们包括青春期变化的简要概述。第二，我们提出青春期在塑造寿命健康方面的关键作用，因为它与早期生命前兆，青春期出现的健康问题和风险，以及青年期及以后的健康有关。接下来，我们将讨论青春期措施在发展研究中的重要性，并提出如何使青春期科学成为一个重要的独立研究实体，以及在青春期进行的研究的重要组成部分。最后，我们讨论了测量问题，青春期的新理论模型，以及在青春期和更广泛的青春期研究中采用跨学科视角的必要性。
We promote the perspective that puberty, a separate biological process embedded in adolescence, is a "window of opportunity" for understanding and impacting health and development. First, we include a brief overview of pubertal change. Second, we propose a critical role for puberty in shaping life span health due to its connections with early life precursors, health issues and risks emerging during puberty, and health in young adulthood and beyond. Next, we discuss the importance of puberty measures in developmental research and suggest ways to make the science of puberty an important standalone research entity, as well as an essential component of studies conducted during adolescence. Finally, we discuss measurement issues, novel theoretical models of puberty, and the necessity of adopting an interdisciplinary perspective in research on puberty and in adolescence more broadly.
