Frisch, R. E., and Revelle, R. (1971). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 46, 695. Height and weight at menarche and a hypothesis of menarche. Height and weight at menarche were estimated by interpolation of longitudinal growth data for 181 girls. Mean weight at menarche, about 48 kg, does not change as menarcheal age increases, whereas mean height increases significantly. Early and late menarch...

The main aim of this paper is to construct menarcheal life-table of Nepal using sample survey data. An alternative technique for the construction such as a life-table based on models has been proposed. The construction of such a life-table describes the distribution of the waiting time for getting menarche at birth as well as some specified age or age group of girls (in years). The average expe...

PURPOSE To examine the relationship between menarcheal age and anthropometric indices and menstrual irregularity in late adolescent girls in Seoul. METHODS We surveyed 4,218 fertile adolescent girls between the ages of 16 and 18 years to determine their anthropometric indices and menarcheal age. Measurements were taken from June 2008 to October 2009 at seven girl's high schools in Seoul, Kore...

BACKGROUND Early menarche has been linked to risk of several chronic diseases. Prospective research on whether the intake of soft drinks containing caffeine, a modulator of the female reproductive axis, is associated with risk of early menarche is sparse. OBJECTIVE We examined the hypothesis that consumption of caffeinated soft drinks in childhood is associated with higher risk of early menar...

Background Menarche is a substantial and important period in the health of adolescent girls’, and has a significant impact on their health in the upcoming years. Accordingly, in this study, we aimed to not only determine the average age of menarche among high school girls in Qom city, but also to examine the effect of some factors on onset age of menarche. Materials and Methods In this cross-se...

The goal of this study is to determine the age at menarche of girls from Tanzania examined in 2005 considering their families' social and material status. For the purpose of the analysis of the age at menarche, N = 71 girls were qualified (N = 8 from Dares Salaam and N = 63 from Mafinga) out of N = 98 who took part in the anthropological study. The calendar age of the girls who qualified for th...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bronchial asthma on menstrual cycle. The study population consisted of 111 girls aged 8-17 years (58 girls with bronchial asthma and 53 healthy girls) of the mean age of 13.17+/-2.74 years. The age at menarche and menstrual cycle parameters were analyzed. Asthmatic girls started to menstruate earlier than healthy girls (P=0.0004). The severity...

Age at onset of menarche was determined for a group of 91 newly menstruating urban school girls in Bangladesh. Girls who had had their menarche within the last year were selected as subjects for the study. The 1-year cohort was selected so as to minimize the gap between the age at menarche and the variables of weight, height, and per capita food expenditure (PFE) to be correlated with it. Re...
