通过对 181 名女孩的纵向生长数据进行插值来估算初潮时的身高和体重。初潮时的平均体重约为 48 公斤，不会随着初潮年龄的增加而变化，而平均身高则显着增加。从青春期开始到初潮的这段时间，初潮早和晚的女孩的身高相同，约为 22 厘米，体重也相同，约为 17 公斤，但晚熟女孩在青春期（包括初潮那一年）生长速度较慢。提出了临界体重与初潮之间存在直接关系的假设。这种相互作用可以解释营养不良对初潮的延迟效应以及初潮提前的长期趋势。
Height and weight at menarche were estimated by interpolation of longitudinal growth data for 181 girls. Mean weight at menarche, about 48 kg, does not change as menarcheal age increases, whereas mean height increases significantly. Early and late menarcheal girls gain the same amount of height, about 22 cm, and the same amount of weight, about 17 kg, in the interval from the initiation of the adolescent spurt to menarche, though late maturers grow at slower rates during the spurt, including the year of menarche. A hypothesis of a direct relation between a critical weight and menarche is proposed. Such an interaction would explain the delaying effect of malnutrition on menarche and the secular trend to an earlier menarche.
