Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Menarche is viewed as an important milestone in female development at puberty and develop to sexual maturity is a strategy in life history.The data by random sampling from the complete school-list of Japan was consisted of 41,838 schoolgirls (9-15 years old). The mean age at menarche of Japanese schoolgirls in 2015 was 12years and 1.7months by status quo data. The menarcheal age of those who eat breakfast infrequently and sleep shorter lengths of time tended to decrease. Our questionnaires included psychological questions about gender acceptance and desired future job. The peak age of wanting to be a preschool teacher was 12years, which was the same as the peak of experiencing menarche. This phenomenon shows strong interest in infants among girls at puberty. However, the numbers of girls experiencing menarche was less than the number of non-experiencing among the girls choosing preschool teacher. And early matured females had negative gender acceptance.
