Objective:To analyze influencing factors of 371 children with sexual precocity in Jinjiang city. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on 371 children with sexual precocity from September 2021 to September 2023. They were set as the observation group. Another 371 healthy children who underwent physical examination in Jinjiang city during the same period were selected as the control group. The general data of all subjects were collected. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of sexual precocity. Results:The proportions of maternal tocolysis during pregnancy,maternal menarche age ≤ 13 years old,family history of sexual precocity,birth asphyxia,taking nutritional supplements≥3 times a week,and high protein diet ≥ 3 times a week in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in the proportions of age,gender,only child,living area,parental education level,school burden,parenting style,parental annual income per capita,daily sleep time,premature infants and light sleep between the two groups (P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that maternal tocolysis during pregnancy,maternal menarche age≤13 years old,family history of sexual precocity,birth asphyxia,taking nutritional supplements≥3 times a week,and high protein diet≥3 times a week were all risk factors affecting the occurrence of sexual precocity in the 371 children in Jinjiang area (OR>1,P<0.05). Conclusions:Maternal tocolysis during pregnancy,maternal menarche age≤13 years old,family history of sexual precocity,birth asphyxia,taking nutritional supplements≥3 times a week,and high protein diet≥3 times a week are the risk factors affecting the 371 children with sexual precocity in Jinjiang area.
