Parents reported the age at onset of breast development (thelarche), which had a high correlation in the subset with clinically assessed Tanner. Study staff measured height and weight and administered questionnaires, including the Internalizing Composite Scale, a parental proxy of child stress. We estimated hazard ratios (HRs) for the association between doubled steroid metabolites and ages at thelarche, pubarche, and menarche using Weibull survival models, testing interactions with stress and BMI z-scores.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Accelerated thelarche was associated with higher prepubertal urinary metabolites of glucocorticoids (HR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.5-2.5), androgens (HR = 3.9, 95% CI: 2.7-5.6), and progesterone (HR = 6.7, 95% CI: 4.1-10.9).
