Abstract

Abstract Estrogen can promote the acceleration of bone maturation and phthalate esters (PAEs) have estrogen-mimicking effects. We investigated whether PAEs are associated with the acceleration of bone age (BA) in girls with early onset of puberty (EOP). This case–control study enrolled 254 girls with EOP from the Endocrinology Department at Shenzhen Children’s Hospital between December 2018 and August 2019. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry were used to analyze the 10 metabolites of PAEs (mPAEs) in urine samples. BA was measured using an artificial intelligen
