摘要: Measurements and results: The Petersen’s Pubertal Development Scale (PDS) Sexual Maturation (SMS) were used to assess pubertal development, a week of actigraphy served naturalistic sleep patterns. results reflect expected developmental trends: an increase in signs maturation, delayed onset, shorter time. After controlling for age, significant relationships found between onset time, true number night wakings at Time 1 ratings 2, changes from 2. Delayed disrupted predicted faster These supported by structural equation modeling. findings similar boys girls. conclusions: Based on these longitudinal data, it appears that (delayed phase patterns) antedate bodily associated with puberty. underlying mechanisms explaining predictive links should be further explored.
