%X objective: to evaluate the effect of dietary restriction in the regression of premature thelarche in infants (3 months to 2 years old) and preschooler children (2 to 5 years and 11 months old). methods: 80 patients with diagnostic of premature thelarche divided into: group a with 31 patients (with diet exempt of avian products, tubercles and soybean) and group b with 41 patients (without diet). setting: servicio de ginecologia infantil y juvenil. hospital de ni£¿os "dr. jm de los rios". caracas results: there was no significative statistical difference in age of patients: groups a and b respectively (31.56 ¡À 22.40 months vs. 43.44 ¡À 26.47 months; p = 0.09). there was no significative variation between groups in uterus length (25.32 ¡À 5.09 mm vs. 28.20 ¡À 6.69 mm; p = 0.09) and right ovarian volume (0.52 ¡À 0.33 cm3 vs. 0.79 ¡À 0.69 cm3, p = 0,09). there was a significative statistical difference in left ovarian volume (0.45 ¡À 0.29 cm3 vs. 0.91 ¡À 1.40 cm3; p = 0.11). an increase of fsh levels for age of patients was found (3.27 ¡À 2.29 mui/ml vs. 2.88 ¡À 1.74 mui/ml; p = 0.50). lh levels were within normal limits (0.50 ¡À 0.81 mui/ml vs. 0.51 ¡À 0.57 mui/ml; p = 0.96). estradiol values resulted lightly increased (16.60 ¡À 12.12 pg/ml vs. 16.44 ¡À 8.79 pg/ml p = 0.95). the regression time was shorter in the group b: 16 ¡À 6.19 months vs. 10.75 ¡À 1.75 months; (p = 0.01). conclusion: the diet with restriction of avian products, tubercles and soybean was no useful in the regression of premature thelarche in the patients included in this study.
