Childhood obesity could be having a profound effect on reproduction, experts say.
Researchers fear it could be triggering the early onset of puberty, leading to a diminished ability to reproduce - particularly in women.
Experts say that there is still much to learn about the effects of obesity and puberty, as well as its effects on the liver, pancreas and other endocrine glands.
But in general puberty is starting earlier in girls and the problem is accelerating, reports journal Frontiers in Enocrinology.
