Experienced in childhood stresses play a decisive role in increasing the size of the bust, said scientists from the University of Edinburgh (Scotland). They found that in recent years there has been a decline in age, after which the breasts begin to form in girls.
According to experts, a complex influence on this process is due to complex intra-family relations and the feeling of stress caused by them. Scientists have found that girls who have grown up in single-parent families, puberty is already at the 10th age. This is 5 years earlier than what happened in the 19th century.
The hormonal imbalance, which causes breast growth, is also affected by obesity. But the stress caused by problems in the family plays a much more important role, scientists say. The hormonal imbalance, which leads to breast growth, is influenced by factors such as obesity. But still more important is the stress caused by family problems.
In recent years, there has been a trend towards an increase in the size of the female bust. In 2011, manufacturers of lingerie have already announced the release of a bra with a L size cup. In 2 years ago in the market there was a lingerie with a cup of KK. This was a clear demonstration of the growth trend of the female bust.
Today, the average size of a bust of a British woman is 34E, and in the 50s of the last century it was just a size.
Physicians regarding the reasons for this phenomenon differ in their opinions. Some believe that the increase in the bust is associated with the spread of the pandemic of obesity, resulting in fat being stored throughout the body, on the chest as well.
Other experts emphasize that not the volume of fat grows, but the tissues of the mammary glands, and they say that the cause is in the hormone of estrogen: therefore today puberty in girls begins much earlier. They give birth to fewer children and do not feed them for very long.
