However, it is unclear whether these relationships are causal.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We estimated the associations between age at menarche and 13 pre-specified pregnancy outcomes by using two approaches. We estimated observational associations in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (N\u2009=\u20099441) using multivariable regression accounting for educational attainment, ethnicity, maternal age, parity, offspring sex, and adiposity. We conducted two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) using data from the Mendelian Randomization in Pregnancy (MR-PREG) collaboration (77\u2009683\u2013707\u2009797 pregnancies) and multivariable MR (MVMR) accounting for genetically-proxied adiposity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Older age at menarche was associated with lower risks of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia, but accounting for adiposity attenuated these effects across approaches. For example, per 1-year older age at menarche, the odds ratio (OR) for hypertensive disorders of pregnancy was 0.88 (95% confidence interval (CI) : 0.84, 0.93) in inverse variance weighted MR and 0.95 (95% CI: 0.90, 1.01) in MVMR, while the observational association attenuated from OR\u2009=\u20090.91 (95% CI: 0.87, 0.94) to OR\u2009=\u20090.97 (95% CI: 0.93, 1.01). No clear evidence was found for the effects of age at menarche on small-for-gestational-age, low birthweight, post-term birth, or perinatal depression from either approach. For other outcomes evidence was limited by imprecision (very preterm birth, gestational diabetes) or inconsistent effects in sensitivity analyses (offspring birthweight, large-for-gestational-age, high birthweight, preterm birth).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We find little robust evidence for causal effects of age at menarche on pregnancy outcomes.
