GROWTH of sexual hair in a young child suggests the possibility that adrenal tumor or hyperplasia may be causing virilization or that true sexual precocity may be beginning. However, neither of these relatively serious conditions may exist. Approximately 10 years ago workers in the Endocrine Clinic of the Harriet Lane Home became aware of the fact that sexual hair may appear in early life long before there is any other secondary sexual development dependent upon either androgen or estrogen. Although this syndrome has been referred to briefly in textbooks as "precocious adrenarche" and "premature pubarche," no detailed studies of a series of cases have been recorded. The present report is based on a study of 29 children who developed sexual hair before the age of 8 years. It was possible to follow a number of these patients long enough to demonstrate that the condition is a benign variation in the pattern of sexual development and is followed later by normal adolescence. It seems important to bring the findings to the attention of pediatricians who may not be familiar with the syndrome and to discuss its differential diagnosis and probable etiology. Methods Urinary 17-ketosteroids (17-KS) were determined by a modification of the method of Callow, Callow and Emmons previously described, urinary estrogens were measured as the "fluorogenic phenols" by the method of Jailer. Vaginal smears stained by the method of Shorr were interpreted as described elsewhere. The "bone age" was based on the average epiphysial development at all the joints.

Background Obesity is a pathological condition due to consumption of excessive amount of food and is associated with early sexual maturation and irregular cycle of menstruation. Early sexual maturation is estimated from the age of menarche.Objective To determine relationship of obesity and age of secondary sexual development in girls.Methods This cross-sectional study was performed on all elementary school students in 4 sub-districts at Denpasar. Nutritional status was determined by BMI. Radiologic examination was performed to determine the bone age. Data were analyzed with appropriate statstical methods.Results Mean chronological age of breasts development for B2 and B3 stage on obese group was younger than non-obese groups (9.0 vs 9.9, P = 0.001; 9.7 vs 10.9, P = 0.006). Early menarche more frequent in obese group than non-obese groups {PR 5 (CI 95% 1.33 to 19.71)}. Mean age of children who experienced menarche on obese group was younger than non-obese group {10.9(SD 0.61) vs 11.1 (SD 0.28). Univariate analysis showed that maturation age of secondary sexual development on obese groups was differed with non-obese group {8.9 (SD 0.21) vs 9.4 (SD 0.13). Linear regression analysis showed relationship between age of breasts and pubic hair growth on both groups.Conclusions This study established that mean age of secondary sexual development was younger in obese girl than non-obese group. Bone age range on obese girls was wider than non-obese girls. [Paediatr Indones. 2010;50:49-5].
