Abstract

Summary Following a suggestion that in Swansea students the downward trend of mean menarcheal age in Britain had ceased, data were collected on girls admitted to the University of Warwick over an 11-year period. There appears a slight increase in menarcheal age during the course of the study, similar to the upward trend seen in the latter part of the Swansea survey. This is not due to any change in the regional representation of the students, or in any of the other variables examined. Menarcheal age is not affected by father's socioeconomic status. It tends to be delayed in girls of larger families, while girls born later in a family of a given size have earlier menarche. Girls of more linear physique tend to have later menarcheal age.
