Abstract
Introduction: Studies evaluating effects of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) on weight and bodymass-index (BMI) in girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (iCPP) include short-term effects. The aim of this study is to investigate changes in BMI during and 2 years after completion of GnRHa to determine the factors that may impact BMI in girls with iCPP.
