Study: Early Menstruation Linked To Higher Diabetes Risk

Gestational diabetes: A study by the University of Queensland in Australia found that early periods could increase the risk of developing gestational diabetes during pregnancy. The study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology said that encouraging those girls with an early start of puberty to control their weight before pregnancy may help to lower their risk of gestational diabetes.

Depression: A US study has said that girls who get their puberty earlier on, may have a higher chance of suffering from depression and behaviour problems that last up to their 20s compared to peers who start menstruation later.
