Height and weight at menarche and a hypothesis of menarche
Open accessAbstract
Height and weight at menarche were estimated by interpolation of longitudinal growth data for 181 girls. Mean weight at menarche, about 48 kg, does not change as menarcheal age increases, whereas mean height increases significantly. Early and late menarcheal girls gain the same amount of height, about 22 cm, and the same amount of weight, about 17 kg, in the interval from the initiation of the adolescent spurt to menarche, though late maturers grow at slower rates during the spurt, including the year of menarche. A hypothesis of a direct relation between a critical weight and menarche is proposed. Such an interaction would explain the delaying effect of malnutrition on menarche and the secular trend to an earlier menarche.

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.
