다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was done to find out the relation between menarche and height. Two hundred twenty five college female students of two colleges in Daejeon were interviewed by doctors for the following items : 1) correct date of birth ; 2) correct age of menarche ; 3) present height ; 4) wearing eye glasses or not ; 5) grown area from birth to the middle school age (city or village) ; 6) religion. Those items were analyzed statistically and the results were obtained as follows ;
1. Average age of menarche was 14.1±1.2 (S. D.) years.
2. The shorter female students had earlier menarche and the taller female students had later menarche.
3. The catholic female students had earlier menarche than non-religious students(P<0.05).
4. There was no significance between menarche and grown area (city or village), or visual acuity.
