Well think about it.... Pediatrics for example are most likely afraid or intolerant of different routes for exanple, not tolerating intravenous and being scared of intramuscular or other injection type things. They would probably be more tolerant of something not considered invasive for example subcutaneous or ingestion. A child body size and metabolism would also be quite fast at receiving the effects of such. Geriatrics do not feel as much pain and because of the slowed down metabolism probably would require routes that are much faster and would be more tolerant of more invasive routes. Pregnant women would probably prefer something slow acting or would not be metabolized at such a rate that it be dangerous toward the child.

Imagine that some change in the environment caused boys to start going into puberty at an earlier age than they ever have in the
Murljashka [212]
Well if you're given options then I can only answer this question to the best of my knowledge.

So here goes nothing;

If boys are hitting puberty at a younger age and you suspect that its their environment that's causing the issue. First step is to test the environment in which the boys are growing up in to see whats effecting their hormonal imbalances. This can be in the water, air, soil, the house and many other outside influences can cause an early onset for puberty in young boys.
