  • Title: Weight, height, thorax and of menarche in Spanish schoolgirls.
    Author: Marin B, Simon J.
    Journal: Reproduccion; 1975; 2(3-4):227-32. PubMed ID: 1243916.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, the authors study the correlation which exists between somatic development, represented by weight, height and thorax, and the age of onset of menarche. The results indicate that girls showing early menarche have a somatic development greater than the mean. It has also been possible to show that the greatest increase in height occurs before the menarche, while the greatest increase in weight coincides with the appearance of the menarche, or occurs shortly afterwards.
