& A Q
Interesting Facts . . .
Puberty occurs later in children raised at higher altitudes. Obesity can cause earlier breast development and menstruation before the age of 12 years old. Each sperm takes 60 to 72 days to develop. Calcium deficiency can cause irregular and painful cramping during your periods. Most men have erections every hour to hour and a half during sleep. During the 1840s the onset of puberty was at the age of 17 years, but nowadays the average age is 9-13 for girls and 11-15 for boys.
