Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The age at MENARCHE is different in various societies. There has been no study in this field in Kermanshah city; so the main goal of this study was to determine the age at MENARCHE and it`s relation to the HEIGHT, WEIGHT, body mass index (BMI) and socioeconomic state of middle school students in Kermanshah city in 1999. MATERIALS & METHODS: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The subjects were 810 middle-school girls that their MENARCHE had been during 2 months before the study. The method of sampling was triple-stages clustering from three different socioeconomical districts of Kermanshah. The data was collected by a questionnaire including age, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, parent`s job, parent`s level of education, race and age at MENARCHE. The HEIGHT and WEIGHT were measured and other data was collected by interviewing with the subjects.RESULTS: The age at MENARCHE in our study was 13.4 ± 0.76 years. The HEIGHT, WEIGHT and BMI of the subjects during MENARCHE were 158.82 ± 5.78 cm , 44.01 ±7.30 kg and 17.67 ± 2.93 kg/m2 , respectively. The age at MENARCHE wasn`t significantly related to HEIGHT, WEIGHT and BMI. However, there was a significant relation between age at MENARCHE and socioeconemic state of the middle schools; higher socioeconomic state was associated with lower age at MENARCHE.CONCLUSION: To be decreased the age at MENARCHE is due to higher socioeconomical state and it isn`t related to somatic characteristics (including HEIGHT, WEIGHT and BMI) of the girls
