[quote=Anonymous]"Growth in height is most rapid during several years prior to menarche, with onset of the growth spurt occurring between the ages of 10 - 14 years. Peak height velocity occurs about one to one and a half years before menarche. Additional height is gained after peak height velocity (10.8 - 22.3 cm) and after menarche (7.4 - 10.6 cm). This additional height may be gained over a period of 4.7 years after menarche (Tanner, 1972). Growth of the pelvic bones, critical for preventing obstructed labour, occurs for several more years after height is complete (Moerman, 1982)." http://www.unsystem.org/SCN/archives/scnnews11/ch04.htm[/quote]
