Contextual adversity, telomere erosion, pubertal development, and health: Two models of accelerated aging, or one?
Two independent lines of inquiry suggest that growing up under conditions of contextual adversity (e.g., poverty and household chaos) accelerates aging and undermines long-term health. Whereas work addressing the developmental origins of health and disease highlights accelerated-aging effects of contextual adversity on telomere erosion, that informed by an evolutionary analysis of reproductive ...
متن کاملFactors Related to the Age at Menarche in Iran: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Background Reduced age at menarche is an important health indicator for women and may be associated with complications such as an increased risk of asthma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, type 2 diabetes. We aimed to examine the factors related to the age at menarche in Iran. Materials and Methods: In this systematic review and meta...
متن کاملThe development of reproductive strategy in females: early maternal harshness --> earlier menarche --> increased sexual risk taking.
To test a proposition central to J. Belsky, L. Steinberg, and P. Draper's (1991) evolutionary theory of socialization-that pubertal maturation plays a role in linking early rearing experience with adolescent sexual risk taking (i.e., frequency of sexual behavior) and, perhaps, other risk taking (e.g., alcohol, drugs, delinquency)-the authors subjected longitudinal data on 433 White, 62 Black, a...
متن کاملEvolutionary fitness as a function of pubertal age in 22 subsistence-based traditional societies
CONTEXT The age of puberty has fallen over the past 130 years in industrialized, western countries, and this fall is widely referred to as the secular trend for earlier puberty. The current study was undertaken to test two evolutionary theories: (a) the reproductive system maximizes the number of offspring in response to positive environmental cues in terms of energy balance, and (b) early pube...
متن کاملA life history assessment of early childhood sexual abuse in women.
Life history theory provided a framework for examining the relations among child sexual abuse (CSA), childhood adversity, and patterns of reproductive development and behavior. A community survey that assessed CSA, life history variables (e.g., age of menarche), and social and family background was administered to 623 women (mean age=26.9 years). Independent of social and family background, CSA...
