Abstract
SummaryA study of schoolgirls in a mixed Nigerian population revealed a mean menarcheal age of 13–94± 1–30 years. The value was influenced by the social class of the parents, being lowest among daughters of social class I parents. The mean values for height, weight, body mass index and mid-upper arm skinfold thickness were higher among the post-menarcheal girls compared to those pre-menarche, although the measurements varied widely.
