What could happen if a prepubescent girl's percentage of total body fat was lower than average?
What will be an ideal response?
Some researchers argue that a child must reach a critical body mass before puberty, especially menarche, emerges. It has also been hypothesized that the onset of menarche is influenced by the percentage of body fat in relation to total body weight, although a precise percentage has not been consistently verified. However, both anorexic adolescents whose weight drops dramatically and females who participate in certain sports (such as gymnastics and swimming) may not menstruate.
