A member asked:
Does dieting at a young age, lets say 12 yrs old lead up to delayed puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: If weight loss is necessary for a child, medical supervision is a must. If the child takes it upon him/herself to lose weight without medical supervision, final height potential and pubertal development can be affected.
