| Abstract: | Precocious puberty is defined as the onset of secondary sexual characteristics before the age of 8 years in girls. In recent years, there has been a noticeable rise in early pubertal onset among school-aged girls due to multiple contributing factors such as dietary habits, obesity, environmental exposure, and psychosocial stress. Early puberty not only affects the physical growth of girls but also influences their emotional and social well-being. Hence, there is a need to identify the potential risk factors that predispose young girls to early puberty for effective prevention and intervention strategies. A descriptive research design was adopted for this study. The sample consisted of 60 school-going girls selected by purposive sampling technique from a chosen school in Durg District, Chhattisgarh. Data were collected using an interview schedule which included socio-demographic variables (age, education, parental occupation, dietary habits, BMI, etc.) and risk factors of precocious puberty. Among socio-demographic factors, food preference (particularly consumption of junk foods) showed a statistically significant association with higher risk levels (χ² = 8.72), p < 0.05). Other variables such as age, parental occupation, BMI, and eating habits did not show significant association (p > 0.05).BMI Category: majority of children (46.7%) fall in the normal BMI range (18.5–24.9), suggesting that nearly half of the sample have an appropriate nutritional status. (23.3%) of children are overweight (BMI 25–29.9) and 13.3% are obese (BMI ≥ 30), which together shows that more than one-third (36.6%) of the sample is above normal weight, a potential concern for early pubertal onset. A smaller proportion, 16.7% of children are underweight (BMI < 18.5), indicating some nutritional deficiency issues within the group. The Chi-square test was used to examine the association between socio demographic variables and risk levels of precocious puberty. Eating Habits, Food Preference, and BMI Category showed statistically significant association with the risk levels. Children consuming junk foods and non-vegetarian diets showed higher risk scores. Overweight and obese children were also at higher risk of precocious puberty. Longitudinal studies should be undertaken to monitor the progression of pubertal changes over a period of years and to identify causal relationships. Awareness programs targeting parents, teachers, and school authorities should be organized to promote better understanding of risk factors, early warning signs, and preventive measures related to precocious puberty. Interventional studies can be designed to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programs, dietary counseling, and physical activity promotion in reducing risk. Interventional research can be undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programs, dietary interventions, or lifestyle modification strategies in preventing early puberty. |
