[Longitudinal study of puberty in Dakar]
Abstract:
A longitudinal survey of some characteristics of puberty was performed on a group of Dakarese adolescents, who had previously been followed up from birth to 6 years of age. The collected data were used to determine (1) the dispersion of ages when these characteristics began to appear, and the relationships between various aspects of puberty; (2) the relationships between some pubertal criteria and the end of the growth process and (3) those existing between nutritional status in early childhood and puberty itself. Some comparisons have been made with the results of a longitudinal survey concerning Londonian adolescents.
