title: Age at menarche in Greek girls.
abstract: This study reports menarcheal age in 1134 contemporary Greek girls and the duration of their menstrual cycle. Comparison with a similar study performed 15 years ago shows that in Greek girls there is still a secular trend, although a small one, towards earlier menarcheal age.
