Key Points

  • Worldwide trends connect earlier biological maturation and age at menarche with broad nutritional transition alongside higher rates of excess weight.
  • Assessment of regional students evaluates age at menarche alongside nutritional status, ethnic background, and socioeconomic level across communities.
  • Tracking age at menarche serves as a proxy for biological maturation, clarifying how socioeconomic level and excess weight shape developmental timing.

Abstract

Age at menarche (MA) is a proxy for biological maturation and a parameter of socioeconomic changes. Worldwide, anticipation of menarche is associated with nutritional transition and excess weight. The objective of this study was to evaluate the MA in Amazonian students and its association with nutritional status, ethnicity, and socioeconomic level.
