can be considered as a probably growth index. This study was performed on secondary school girls
in Zahedan in 1380 to determine their age of menarche; 558 students were selected by multistage
random sampling.
Data were collected using a questionnaire filled by each selected student. Their height and
weight were measured and added to the questionnaires. Data were analyzed by SPSS package and

observed between the age of menarche and mothers education, number at family members, physical
and mental circumstances and people’s appetite. There was no correlation between the age of
menarche and parents’ jobs, fathers’ education and race.
