这项研究是对657名女孩进行的第三次年度随访的一部分，目的是测试短期回忆初潮年龄的准确性。在第一次和第二次年度随访期间，101名女孩报告了月经初潮。我们在第三次年度随访时向这些受试者发送问卷，并要求他们回忆初潮的月份和年份。88个答复者交回了附有相关信息的问卷。总体而言，59.1%的受访者能够回忆起他们的月经初潮的确切月份和年份。平均回忆间隔为430天。当数据按回忆间隔分组时，观察到回忆间隔越短，准确率越高。在平均回忆间隔为323天的情况下，66.1%的受试者能够正确回忆起他们的月经初潮，而在平均回忆间隔为649天的情况下，只有44.8%的受试者能够正确回忆起。
This study was conducted as part of the third annual follow-up of a cohort of 657 girls to test the accuracy of short-term recall of age at menarche. During the first and second annual follow-ups of the cohort, 101 girls had reported menarche. We sent questionnaires to these subjects at the third annual follow-up and asked them to recall the month and year of their menarche. Eighty-eight respondents returned their questionnaires with the relevant information. Overall, 59.1% of the respondents were able to recall their menarche with the exact month and year. The mean recall interval was 430 days. When the data were grouped by the interval of recall, higher accuracy was observed with a shorter interval of recall. With a mean interval of recall of 323 days, 66.1% of the subjects were able to recall their menarche correctly, whereas with a mean interval of 649 days, only 44.8% of the subjects were able to recall correctly.
