Abstract
There are studies which substantiate increased adiposity prevalence in early puberty. Advancements in technology should be a serious matter of concern which is booming in the world on a day to day basis. The radio signals and waves are also to be thought of for this changing trend as the rural populations are comparatively less exposed to these radiations when compared with the urban population. Participant data sheet was given to the participants as hard copy and also shared through media as soft copies, wherein the participant fills in all the details in the questionnaire forms and submits to the investigator. All the participants were assigned with a unique identifier for any future references and follow‐up purpose. The participant’s current age, age of onset of menarche, and the year of onset of menarche were noted. The mean age of menarche in the urban and rural population for the past 5 yrs, since 2015, is shown in Table 2. There is an overall significant difference in the mean age of menarche when compared across the years with p<0.001 with 95% of confidence interval (‐0.648, ‐0.389) between the urban and rural population using Student’s unpaired t‐test. Understanding the consequences of early menarche, effective preliminary interventions and awareness are required to revert back to the normal trend to build up healthier future generations.
