Relevance of age-related growth references: variations in body measurements among girls in relation to their menarche status
Abstract: Aim: The objective of this study is to fill the information gap by providing detailed information on the development of girls’ BMI and hip and waist circumferences in correlation with their menarche status and to examine the impact of considering menarcheal age in addition to numerical age in the assessment of overweight and abdominal overweight. Subjects and methods: The description of data is based on two recently conducted cross-sectional surveys: the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Children and Adolescents (KiGGS, n = 1,942) and the Berlin School Children’s Cohort (BSCOC, n = 1,606). Anthropometric data are presented stratified by age in years (11–14) and menarche status. The frequency distribution of overweight and abdominal overweight was calculated according to German reference data. Group comparisons were performed with non-parametric tests. Results: Changes regarding body composition occur mainly during pre-menarche and menarche. In girls in whom menarch
