“…For women born between 1906 and 1910, however, mean menarcheal age was 14-2 and for women born between 1911 and 1915 it was 13.8, a fall of 9 months in a decade. Lenner (1944) The figure summarizes our hypothesis for the development of the age at menarche for cohorts born between 1820 and 1962. Our conclusion is that all available evidence from Norwegian sources supports this hypothesis as opposed to Tanner's hypothesis of a steady fall.…”

A fall in the age of menarche during the last fifty years is well documented from many parts of the world, among them Norway. Tanner says that this trend can be extended back at least to the middle of the last century, and he uses Norwegian sources to support this hypothesis. Re-examination of these Norwegian sources indicates that there was no fall at all during the ninetheenth century, and that the age at menarche was constant at approximately 16.0 years for the lower social classes throughout this period. It is also suggested that the age at menarche was constant at approximately 14 years for the higher social classes.
