[quote=Anonymous]I am Asian-American and started puberty at about 12.5. My mother, who had grown up in a war-torn asian country, FREAKED out. She and her sisters had not started until 15-16. Of course, to our eyes/standards, they looked and were very undernourished. So diet plays a huge role, fat especially. So it could depend on generation or perhaps, in the case of an immigrant/adopted child who might have spent a number of years first living outside the U.S. and potentially in a deprived situation, it might have a little lagging effect. But among the adopted Asian heritage kids I know they have fallen more into typical U.S. patterns after a couple years on an American diet (for good or ill!)[/quote]
