Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to investigate the link between early onset of menstruation (menarche) and depression through a meta-analysis involving 22 studies with nearly 88,000 participants.
- Results showed that participants with early menarche had significantly higher depression scores and incidence compared to those without early menarche, although there was moderate variability among the studies included.
- The findings suggest that early menarche is correlated with increased depression risk, highlighting the need for supportive measures from parents, schools, and healthcare providers for girls who experience menarche earlier.
