[Results of long-term studies of the development of children in Goerlitz in the last 3 decades].
The author reports on the results of investigations concerning the development of 15173 girls born in Görlitz between 1944 and 1973. With regard to maturation a significant tendency toward deceleration has been observed. Late menarche is increasing, while early menarche is decreasing. Seasonal influences on the development are discussed. September born girls, for example, are characteristic for a high menarcheal age, those born in December for a low menarcheal age. Furthermore one can assume some relations between the month of birth and the birthweight.
