Data from a representative sample of 736 women aged 45–54 living in or near London in 1965 were analysed with respect to menopausal status and median and mean age at menopause (final menses). The median age at the natural menopause was 50·78 years. The validity of the measures used and the reliability of the data in this and previous studies are discussed. The conclusions are reached that median age of menopause is a more valid measurement than mean age and that there is no conclusive evidence of an increase in the age at menopause over the last century. The data also indicate understatement of the age at the last menstrual period (LMP) by women, with increasing lapse of time.The menopause was found to occur markedly later in currently married women than in unmarried or previously married women. When marital status was controlled by considering currently married women only, increased parity was shown to be related to a late menopause among women of higher socio-economic status, but not among those of lower socio-economic status. There was no notable association between the menopause and early or late menarche and socio-economic status.

Background: Menstruation is a normal biological process and a key sign of reproductive health. Good hygiene practices are essential during menstruation. The current study was conducted to assess the knowledge, awareness and practices related to menstrual hygiene management and find out the relationship between the socio economic status and age at menarche (AAM) among tribal (Oraon) and nontribal female in Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal.Methods: A field based cross-sectional study was conducted among tribal (Oraon) and nontribal female in Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal. A total of 120 samples (60 tribal and 60 nontribal) were interviewed by using pre-tested structured questionnaire. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS (ver. 16).Results: The present study shows that the tribal female had poor knowledge about menstruation and menstrual hygiene than the nontribal female. Use of sanitary napkins among the nontribal female (66.7%) where as reverse in case of tribal female (use of cloths 66.7%). Study shows with increasing monthly family income and socio economic status, mean AAM decreases. There was statistically significant difference between the two groups (tribal and nontribal) for all socio economic parameter but not AAM distribution.Conclusions: There is an urgent need to create awareness regarding menstrual hygiene among all the females in the society. The role of teachers and media should be enhanced. This will help in reducing the burden of menstrual related health problem and improve the reproductive health.

This paper is an attempt to investigate the differentials and determinants of age at menarche according tothe characteristics of females. Simple average, univariate as well as multivariate analysis were carried out.A multivariate technique has been utilized to study the effect of various socio-economic variables on thetiming of menarche.The data for this study were taken from a sample survey of Palpa and Rupandehi Districts” conductedbetween January and June 2000. A total of 1258 (including 239 daughters and 1019 mothers) femalesprovided information on the age at menarche. For this study only 239 samples of young girls have beenanalysed.Mean age at menarche was found about 15 and 14 years for older generation (mothers) and youngergeneration (their daughters) respectively. A decreased age at menarche was found with the increased levelof socio-economic status group of girls. Age at menarche was found higher for girls belonging to nonschooling(15.7 years) as compared to the schooling girls (14.2 years). It was found that the variables ‘socioeconomicstatus’, and ‘caste/ethnicity’ were the significant determinants for the timing of menarche. Ahigher risk of getting menarche early was found for high socio-economic status and schooling girls ascompared to the low socio-economic and non-schooling, which may be due to nutrition and physical andpsychological stress during the early childhood.Key Words: Fertility, Menarche, Differentials, Determinants, Reproductive, Adolescent, Sub-fecundity, Foetal wastage.

A battery of six tests assessing various aspects of receptive and expressive oral language was administered to 27 cerebral palsied children and controls matched on the variables of age, intelligence, sex, race, hearing acuity, socio-economic status, and similarity of educational background. Results indicated only minimal differences between groups. Signs of deviancy in language behavior often attributed to the cerebral palsied were not observed. Although previous investigators have suggested consistent language disturbances in the cerebral palsied, evidence for a disorder of comprehension and formulation of oral symobls was not found.

Objective: The last two decades have witnessed an increase in health care costs due to obesity and related issues among children and adolescents. Childhood obesity is a global phenomenon affecting all socio-economic groups, irrespective of age, sex or ethnicity. The study was done to find the the prevalence of obesity and overweight and their association with socioeconomic status (SES) and the risk factors. Materials and Methods: School based cross sectional study carried out over a period of 4 months in three schools of East Delhi. The study was carried out in 629 school children of 10–18 years of age and belonging to different socioeconomic statuses in schools in East Delhi. The obesity and overweight were considered using an updated body mass index reference. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to determine the Socio-economic status and life style factors. Results: The prevalence of overweight among children was higher in middle socioeconomic status groups as compared to high socioeconomic class in both boys and girls whereas the prevalence of obesity was higher in high Socio economic status group as compared to middle socioeconomic group. The prevalence of obesity as well as overweight in low SES group was the lowest as compared to other group. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the prevalence of overweight and obesity varies remarkably with different socioeconomic development levels.
