Abstract
Age at menarche among girls from the Amazon region is similar to that of industrialized countries. Prevalence of excess weight and body fat was high, and there was evidence of an association between age with early menarche and excess weight. Trends in age at menarche and stage of sexual maturation should be monitored with related factors, to adopt obesity control strategies from an early age.
