This study details the somatic pubertal development in 142 Swiss girls aged 9-18. Key milestones like peak height velocity and menarche are analyzed, providing normative data for adolescent growth.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Endocrinology
  • Human Growth and Development
  • Adolescent Medicine

Context:

  • Longitudinal study of 142 Swiss girls (First Zurich Longitudinal Study).
  • Focus on somatic pubertal development from age 9 to 18 years.
  • Establishes normative data for key pubertal milestones.

Purpose:

  • To describe the timing and sequence of somatic pubertal development in a cohort of Swiss girls.
  • To provide detailed data on growth spurt, menarche, and associated physical changes.
  • To establish reference ranges for adolescent development.

Summary:

  • Pubertal growth spurt onset averaged 9.6 years, with peak height velocity (PHV) at 12.2 years.
  • Menarche occurred at a mean age of 13.4 years, following pubic hair and breast development.

  • At menarche, girls reached 95.3% of adult height; acne and striae were common by age 18.

    • Impact:

    • Provides essential normative data for pediatricians and endocrinologists assessing adolescent growth.
    • Aids in identifying deviations from typical pubertal development timelines.
    • Contributes to understanding the physical maturation process in adolescent females.
