Abstract

669 boys and 753 girls born in 1962 and living at home were observed at approximately half-yearly intervals from 9 to 17 years of age. Mean ages of reaching various developmental stages were calculated for voice change and facial hair in boys, menarche and breast development in girls, and for axillary hair in both sexes. Peak height velocity and age at which it occurred were also calculated for both sexes. Means were generally in good agreement with those found about 15 years previously in the Harpenden Growth Study. Most pubertal changes in the present study showed gradients by social class; in boys, development was later in those with fathers in unskilled manual occupations, whereas in girls the greatest differences, where found, were between those with fathers in non-manual occupations and the remainder.

摘要

对1962年出生且居住在家中的669名男孩和753名女孩进行了观察，从9岁到17岁期间，大约每半年观察一次。计算了男孩声音变化和面部毛发、女孩月经初潮和乳房发育以及两性腋毛达到不同发育阶段的平均年龄。还计算了两性的身高生长速度峰值及其出现的年龄。这些平均值与大约15年前在哈彭登生长研究中发现的结果总体上吻合良好。本研究中的大多数青春期变化按社会阶层呈现出梯度差异；在男孩中，父亲从事非技术体力工作的孩子发育较晚，而在女孩中，发现差异最大的是父亲从事非体力工作的孩子与其他孩子之间。
