Prospective associations between dairy, Ca, Mg, and P intakes and the risk of reaching menarche ≤ 12 years from logistic regression.¹

1Dietary intake was adjusted for age at baseline by residuals. 2n 16 values were missed for milk, yoghurt, and cheese intake. 3Model 1 adjusted for energy and protein intake at baseline, interval between the age at study initiation and the age of menarche, and maternal age at menarche. 4Model 2 adjusted for variables in model 1 and BMI Z-score at baseline. 5Model 3 adjusted for variables in model 2 and height Z-score at baseline.
