Abstract

WE present data documenting a secular trend toward an earlier age of menarche in Europe and the United States in the past century. There has been recent controversy on whether such a change has taken place.1 , 2 We have reviewed 218 reports on age of menarche in Europe from 1795 to 1981, covering 220,037 individuals.3 4 5 6 The historical European data are mainly from Backman's extensive collation.3 Figure 1 and Table 1 show that in Europe the age of menarche has become earlier by two to three months per decade in the past century and a half. The greatest rate of decline, 3.2 months per decade, has . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
