“…La Plata City is the head of the district, and it includes 18 other localities dependent on the central municipal government. The economy of the district is based mainly on the service sector, public administration, and industrial activity (Oyhenart et al, 2013, 2018). It has a high degree of urbanization, with a total population of 654 324 inhabitants according to the 2010 Census, which was performed halfway through the time frames of the study cohorts analyzed in this work (INDEC, 2010).…”

“…Data obtained in two cross‐sectional cohort (C) studies were compared: 1) C1 was carried out between 2005 and 2007; it included 418 girls aged 8–14 years old (10.48 ± 1.77 years old) who attended public school primary and secondary levels. The institutions were selected in a non‐random manner based on convenience sampling to cover the existing socio‐environmental variability in the district (Oyhenart et al, 2013, 2018); 2) C2 included 474 girls aged 8–14 years old (10.41 ± 1.96 years old) and was developed between 2015 and 2019 by the same trained staff, using identical methodological criteria and selection of academic institutions. None of the participants presented a known pathological history according to the information contained in the school records.…”

ObjectiveTo provide information on the secular trend in age at menarche (AgM) in Argentinean girls in relation to excess weight (EW) and body adiposity.MethodsTwo cohorts (C) (C1, 2005–2007 and C2, 2015–2019) of children aged 8–14 years from La Plata district were studied using identical methodological criteria. Each participating child was asked about menarche (M) status: M presence (MP) or absence (MA). The AgM was estimated using the status quo method and logistic regression analysis. Body weight, height, and tricipital and subscapular skinfolds were collected to estimate EW (overweight + obesity) according to WHO criteria, and body adiposity (sum of skinfolds, SSK = [tricipital + subscapular]). The prevalence of EW by C was estimated and compared using the Chi‐square test. The MP probability in relation to age, C, and EW was analyzed by applying logistic regression. Parents completed a questionnaire to assess family socioeconomic conditions. Data were compared using the Chi‐square test.ResultsDifferences in MP prevalence between C were significant (C1: 21.1% vs. C2: 28.7%). Median AgM was 12.81 years in C1 and 12.22 in C2. The prevalence of EW was higher in C2 (35.3%) than in C1 (24.6%). The probability of MP was higher in C2 than in C1 and children with EW. Both BMI and SSK showed inter‐cohort increases. Socioeconomic conditions were substantially deteriorated between C.ConclusionIn an obesogenic context marked by the significant increase in body adiposity and EW, M prevalence exhibited a positive secular trend and AgM reduced by nearly seven months between the cohorts studied.

La menarca constituye un hito madurativo importante. A escala mundial ocurre, en promedio, a los 12,5 años y está sujeta a factores genéticos y/o ambientales. El objetivo fue analizar, en niñas residentes en la periferia urbana de La Plata: a) la edad mediana de menarca y b) si el estado nutricional y la distribución adiposa influyen en la edad de ocurrencia de menarca. Se evaluaron, durante los ciclos 2014-2017, en 657 niñas de 10-14 años: presencia(P)/ausencia(A) de menarca, peso, talla y pliegues subcutáneos tricipital y subescapular. Se determinaron: edad mediana de menarca (EM) según método status quo y regresión logística; estado nutricional -desnutrición, exceso ponderal y normonutrición- empleando como referencia y puntos de corte a la OMS; y distribución de adiposidad según índice subescapular/tricipital, considerando valores >1 indicativos de adiposidad centralizada. Se calcularon en general y por estado nutricional la EM y las prevalencias de ocurrencia comparándose mediante Chi2. La menarca estuvo presente en el 44,10% de las niñas con EM de 12,13 años. Alrededor del 54% de las niñas se mantuvo dentro de los límites normales (P: 41,20%; EM: 12,28 años) y el 45,70% estaban desnutridas; de estas 4,90% mostraron desnutrición debido a la baja estatura (P: 25,00%; MS: 13,40 años) y 40,80% tenían exceso de peso (P: 50,40%; MS: 11,78 años). El 32,72% de las niñas tenían adiposidad centralizada (P: 59,10%; EM: 11,79 años). Los resultados permiten concluir que el estado nutricional influye en la edad mediana de ocurrencia de la menarca, la cual es mayor en las niñas desnutridas y menor en las niñas con exceso ponderal. La disposición centralizada de la adiposidad favorece la presencia de menarca. Menarche is an important maturation milestone. It normally occurs at an average age of 12.5 years and is influenced by genetic and/or environmental factors. The aim of this study was to analyze in girls residing at suburbs of La Plata city a) the median age of menarche; b) if nutritional status and fat distribution have any influence in the age of menarche. During years 2014 to 2017, 657 girls aged between 10 and 14 years(y) were surveyed, determining: presence(P)/absence(A) of menarche, weight, height, and tricipital and subscapular skinfolds. It was measured: median age of menarche (MA) according to the status quo method and logistic regression; nutritional status -undernutrition, excess weight, and normonutrition- using WHO as a reference and their cut-off points; and the distribution of adiposity through the use of subscapular/tricipital index, considering values >1 an indicative of centralized adiposity. The median age of menarche was calculated both in the general sample and by nutritional status; general and age-prevalence of menarche were compared by Chi2. Menarche was present in 44.10% of the girls with MS of 12.13 years. About 54% of the population stayed within normal limits (P: 41.20%; MS: 12.28 years) and 45.70% were malnourished; of these 4.90% showed malnutrition due to short stature (P: 25.00 %; MS: 13.40 years) and 40.80% had weight excess (P: 50.40%; MS: 11.78 years). 32.72% of the girls had centralized adiposity (P: 59.10%; MS: 11.79 years). These results allow us to conclude that nutritional status influences the median age of menarche: it is higher in undernourished girls and lower in those with weight excess. Centralized disposition of adiposity promotes the presence of menarche.
