In this paper, the authors study the correlation which exists between somatic development, represented by weight, height and thorax, and the age of onset of menarche. The results indicate that girls showing early menarche have a somatic development greater than the mean. It has also been possible to show that the greatest increase in height occurs before the menarche, while the greatest increase in weight coincides with the appearance of the menarche, or occurs shortly afterwards.
在本文中，作者研究了以体重、身高和胸围为代表的身体发育与月经初潮年龄之间存在的相关性。结果表明，月经初潮早的女孩身体发育超过平均水平。还能够表明，身高增长最快发生在月经初潮之前，而体重增长最快与月经初潮的出现同步，或在月经初潮后不久发生。
