青少年的生长和发育可能会受到儿童早期饮食摄入量和身体大小等因素的影响。在一项对马萨诸塞州波士顿67名白人女孩的纵向研究中，数据是从20世纪30年代和40年代出生时前瞻性收集的。每半年测量一次身高和体重，并与母亲进行饮食史访谈。逐步线性回归方法被用来寻找最能预测初潮年龄、青春期身高增长峰值速度和出现峰值速度的年龄的因素。在3-5岁时消耗更多（能量调整）动物蛋白和更少植物蛋白的女孩月经初潮更早，1-2岁饮食脂肪摄入量较高的女孩和6-8岁动物蛋白摄入量较高的女孩成为青春期生长高峰更早的女孩。控制体型，在生长高峰前2年摄入更多热量和动物蛋白质的女孩有更高的生长高峰速度。这些发现可能对成人疾病的风险与青少年的生长和发育因素有关的影响。
Adolescent growth and development may be affected by factors such as dietary intake and body size from much earlier in childhood. In a longitudinal study of 67 Caucasian girls in Boston, Massachusetts, data were collected prospectively from birth during the 1930s and 1940s. Heights and weights were measured semiannually, and dietary history interviews were conducted with mothers. Stepwise linear regression methods were used to seek factors which best predicted age at menarche, adolescent peak height growth velocity, and the age at which peak growth velocity occurred. Girls who consumed more (energy-adjusted) animal protein and less vegetable protein at ages 3-5 years had earlier menarche, and girls aged 1-2 years with higher dietary fat intakes and girls aged 6-8 years with higher animal protein intakes became adolescents with earlier peak growth. Controlling for body size, girls who consumed more calories and animal protein 2 years before peak growth had higher peak growth velocity. These findings may have implications regarding adult diseases whose risks are associated with adolescent growth and development factors.
