Fig. 1

Kaplan-Meier curves of age at menarche showing that menarche occurs at an earlier age in girls with a high (> +1 SDS) BMI, Waist circumference, Subscapular (SSF) or Triceps (TSF) skinfold, and at a later age in girls with a low (< −1 SDS) value for these anthropometric indicators. The line in between shows the Kaplan-Meier estimate in girls with average (−1 to +1 SDS) measurement values. Dots are censored observations, and shaded areas indicate the 95% confidence interval
