| description | Correlation of stature and body weight and the eruption of permanent teeth with four sexual maturity criteria (menarche, pubic hair, axillary hair and breast development) was studied in 102 Southern Chinese girls aged between 11 years, 9 months and 12 years, 3 months and born and brought up in Hong Kong.
