Forty-six percent of the children born to women who began their periods at age 10 were boys. This figure rose to 50 percent when the woman began her period at 12, and 53 percent when the women entered menarche at age 14.
The study adds evidence to a previous research, which demonstrated higher levels of the female sex hormone oestradiol in women who entered menarche before the age of 12.
Fukuda said this might lead to spontaneous miscarriage of fertilised male eggs.
The study is published in Human Reproduction
