| dc.description.abstract | The mean age at menarche based on recall data of a sample of 303 girls was 13,83 years. This mean was 0.6 years higher than the mean of 13.2 years observed among Kandy urban children of a slightly higher socio-economic status. It was found that the nutritionally poor girls are at a disadvantage and reach menarche about 0.5 years later than the nutritionally good. | en_US |
