The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between stature and menstrual pattern. Nine hundred and seventy six girls were selected from regions within two cities in north-eastern Iran in 2015. They were assessed with respect to: their stature and menstrual pattern, age of menstruation, severity of dysmenorrhoea, duration of their menstrual cycle and flow. 841 girls had experienced menarche. 10.5% had a short stature. There were significant differences in age, height, weight and body mass index between those who had experienced their first menstrual cycle and others ( < .001). There were weak and negative correlation between age of menarche and height percentiles ( = -0.12, < .001). Premenstrual syndrome, duration of menstruation cycle and bleeding period did not differ between these two groups ( > .05). We found that dysmenorrhoea was significantly influenced by height. Although the mean age at menarche was statistically significant among different statures, the range was narrow (12.2-12.7). Further studies considering environmental factors, including socioeconomic status and nutrition concurrently, are also required.Impact statement Various menstrual characteristics, including age of menarche, severity of dysmenorrhoea and duration of menstrual period may be associated with height. But, there have been few studies on the relationship between short stature and its impact on health status and menstrual patterns in adolescents. There were significant differences in age, height, weight and body mass index between adolescent girls who had experienced their first menstrual cycle, and others. There were weak, negative, significant correlations between age of menarche and height percentiles. Dysmenorrhoea was significantly influenced by height. Life style modification and nutritional interventions that optimise the height of girls may resolve their menstrual problems and dysmenorrhoea.
本研究的目的是调查身高与月经模式之间的关系。2015年，从伊朗东北部两个城市的地区选取了976名女孩。对她们进行了以下方面的评估：身高、月经模式、初潮年龄、痛经严重程度、月经周期时长和月经量。841名女孩已初潮。10.5%的女孩身材矮小。经历过首次月经周期的女孩与其他女孩在年龄、身高、体重和体重指数方面存在显著差异（P<0.001）。初潮年龄与身高百分位数之间存在微弱的负相关（r=-0.12，P<0.001）。两组在经前综合征、月经周期时长和出血期方面无差异（P>0.05）。我们发现痛经受身高的显著影响。尽管不同身高组的平均初潮年龄在统计学上有显著差异，但范围较窄（12.2 - 12.7岁）。还需要进一步同时考虑环境因素，包括社会经济地位和营养状况的研究。影响声明 各种月经特征，包括初潮年龄、痛经严重程度和月经期时长，可能与身高有关。但是，关于身材矮小及其对青少年健康状况和月经模式影响之间关系的研究很少。经历过首次月经周期的青春期女孩与其他女孩在年龄、身高、体重和体重指数方面存在显著差异。初潮年龄与身高百分位数之间存在微弱、负向、显著的相关性。痛经受身高的显著影响。改善生活方式和进行营养干预以优化女孩身高，可能会解决她们的月经问题和痛经。
