“…In several countries in Europe it was described that adopted children from developing countries are overrepresented among children suffering from CPP or early puberty [2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Compared to an incidence of about 1/10,000 for idiopathic CPP, in Belgium 20–25% of children with CPP were adopted from developing countries [22, 23].…”

“…Frequently, adopted children have been presented in pediatric endocrinology units for evaluation of growth, since the height of the adopted children is in general below the mean of the countries they live in. Further, it has been described that adopted children from developing countries are overrepresented among children suffering from central precocious puberty (CPP) or early puberty [2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. We review the current data on pubertal development in adopted children, treatment options and results of treatment.…”

Early puberty is frequently observed in adopted children. In various studies, early puberty has been associated with decreased final height. In Europe, studies were undertaken to treat early puberty in adopted children with GnRH agonist. This article reviews the current understanding of early puberty in adopted children, including prevalence, background and treatment options. Data from the European studies are briefly described. Besides auxological aspects, psychological items are addressed as well. Studies on the psychological effect of early puberty in adopted children are reported. Future issues include further study in the mechanism of early puberty in adopted children, evaluation of final height results of the growth studies and quality of life assessments in this specific group of children.

“…In children adopted from developing countries, the onset of puberty is often considerably earlier than in the countries the children originate from, resulting in compromised adult height (Oostdijk et al ., 1991b; Proos et al ., 1991a, b; Oostdijk et al ., 1996b; Marx et al ., 1998; Virdis et al., 1998; Bureau et al ., 1999). The occurrence of early puberty might be related to the improvement of nutritional status in early life (Bourguignon et al ., 1992; Tuvemo et al ., 1999).…”
