A first menstrual bleeding (is called menarche), as one of the sign of puberty, is very
important event in the reproductive life of a woman. Age at menarche is affected by two
major factors/determinats, genetic and non genetic (environmental), reflects the health
status of a population. In recent years, the average age at menarche showed a
continuous trend for earlier, although this trend tends to slow down or stabilize. Early
AAM may be associated with social and medical problems in later life. This study was
designed to determine the relationship of mothers age at menarche and their postmenarcheal
daughters at grades 5 and 6 in three Pucangan public elementary schools
(SD Negeri I, III, IV Pucangan). Similarity of Elementary School’s location (in the
Pucangan Village), have a tendency in common areas of residence, socioeconomic
status, and other non-genetic determinants, so the researchers wanted to know the
relationship between menarcheal age of mothers and their daughters.
