摘要

背景：这项研究调查了非洲国家月经初潮的中位年龄。数据来源和方法：国土安全部的调查提供了15-19岁女性月经来潮比例的信息。使用线性逻辑回归模型得出初潮时的中位年龄（现状法）。对国土安全部对总共304826名妇女进行的约139项调查进行了分析。结果：结果显示，在35个接受调查的国家中，月经初潮的中位年龄变化很大，从13.1岁到15.2岁不等。结论：国家差异与表明发展水平的各种变量（人均收入；热量摄入；城市化；儿童死亡率；生育率；结婚年龄）相关。有两个变量特别重要：食物摄入和城市化。

Estimating the median age at menarche with a Logit model: Application to African DHS surveys

Background: The study investigates the median age at menarche in African countries. Data Source and Methods: DHS surveys provided information on the proportion ever-menstruating among women age 15-19. A linear-logistic regression model was used to derive the median age at menarche (statu quo method). Some 139 DHS surveys were analysed, for a total of 304,826 women. Results: Results show a wide range of variations of the median age at menarche among the 35 countries investigated, from 13.1 to 15.2 years. Conclusion: Country variations were correlated with various variables indicating the level of development (Income per capita; Caloric intake; Urbanization; Child mortality; Fertility; Age at marriage). Two variables were particularly important: food intake and urbanization.
