Association between age at menarche and prehypertension in female college students

  Objective  To explore the correlation of age at menarche and prehypertension in female college students.  Methods  Age at menarche of 558 female college students was collected, while blood pressure, height and weight were measured, and body mass index(BMI) was calculated.  Results  Average age at menarche was (12.48±0.95) years, prevalence of prehypertension was 17.56% (98/558). The age of menarche was 8-11, 12, 13, 14, 15-19, and the prevalence of hypertension was 30.95%, 10.00%, 17.31%, 10.81%, 31.58% respectively, U-shape association was observed in the association between prehypertension with age at menarche, lowest when age at menarche was < 12 years. There was no significant difference in prehypertension between age at menarche was 13, 14 years old with 12-year-old group, those age at menarche 8-11 or 15-19 had a significantly higher risk of developing prehypertension than those 12-year-old(OR=4.03, 4.15, P < 0.05).  Conclusion   Early or late menarche is associated with high blood pressure, appropriate intervention for girls with early menarche and obesity may be beneficial in reducing their future hypertension.
