The current study was designed to determine the age at which menarche occurs among school girls in Madina, Accra. A survey was conducted among 529 girls selected using multi-stage sampling from basic schools in Madina, Accra. Respondents completed a questionnaire that recorded age-at-first menstruation by recall, household characteristics, and anthropometry.

Most girls (90%) had first menstruation before age 13. Their mothers' mean age at menarche was 13.6 + 1.08 years. In a multivariate linear regression model, household wealth (p<0.01) and body mass index (p<...
