Identifying the Causes of

Health
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

According to the text, the most likely causes of precocious puberty are exposure to pollutants , exposure to phthalates  and unhealthy weight gain.

Explanation:

The age of onset of puberty has experienced significant variations over the years, mostly related to environmental changes and use of processed products.

Factors associated with precocious puberty are:

  1. Industrialization produced an increase in environmental pollutants, which has been linked to early puberty.
  2. Consumption of processed foods —which favour obesity— influences the production of hormones, that can induce early sexual maturation.
  3. Finally, some chemical additives, such as phthalates, enter the body and resemble the structure of some hormones, inducing a hormonal behavior that promotes alterations, such as an early onset of puberty.

The text also mentions negative consequences for the body when an early onset of puberty occurs.

Rergarding other options:

  • <em><u>Disruptions to the endocrine system</u></em><em> is the possible explanation for precocious puberty.</em>
  • <em><u>Certain types of cancers   and emotional and psychological problems</u></em><em> are consequences of precocious puberty.</em>

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

d. oral

Explanation:

During the oral phase, food-related activities such as sucking and chewing are the most important.

Because the baby is totally dependent on the caregivers (who are responsible for their feeding), the child also develops a sense of confidence and comfort through this oral stimulation.
