✦ Synopsis

A sample of 114 girls from low-middle and highest socioeconomic levels of Istanbul were followed at 6-month intervals for 7-9 years during adolescence. Results pertaining to age of menarche and its relationship to growth and maturation are presented. No significant difference was found for the occurrence of menarche in relation to season. The age of menarche was 6.6 months earlier in daughters compared to their mothers, but the variation between mothers and daughters was great. In the lower socioeconimic class, age of menarche was significantly later, 12.5 years in the high and 13.4 years in the lower class. Later menarche in the lower class was related t o lower rates of growth in stature and weight, and of skeletal and sexual maturation. There was no significant correlation between age at menarche
