对来自肯尼亚的342名有特权的城市儿童和347名贫困的农村青少年的青春期生长发育进行了比较。对身高、体重、上臂围和三头肌皮褶的测量显示，就在性成熟开始之前，两个研究组之间存在显著差异。这些差异是在青春期的早期阶段发现的，但在成熟过程的后期，明显的追赶是显而易见的。营养不良的男孩的性成熟早期阶段推迟了3年，农村女孩的月经初潮年龄延迟了2.1年。对身体脂肪的估计以及直接的人体测量表明，在慢性儿童营养不良的情况下，青春期的开始与体型无关。
Pubertal growth and development were compared in 342 privileged, urban children and 347 impoverished rural adolescents from Kenya [Africa]. Measurements of height, weight, upper arm circumference and triceps skinfolds revealed marked differences between the 2 study groups just before the onset of sexual maturation. These differences were found in the early stages of puberty but notable catch-up was evident throughout the later periods of the maturational process. Early stages of sexual maturity were delayed by 3 yr in malnourished boys with a 2.1-yr lag in the age of onset of menarche in rural girls. Derived estimates of body fat as well as direct anthropometry revealed that the onset of puberty is not size related under the circumstances of chronic childhood malnutrition.
