ABSTRACT

ARVINA OKTAVIANI. Menarcheal Age and Breast Development in

Purwokerto. Supervised by BAMBANG SURYOBROTO and PUJI RIANTI.

Puberty is a transition from childhood into adulthood. It occurs as a result of

the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis activity which stimulates the central

inhibitory feedback and lifts the Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH). The

activation of GnRH increasingly stimulates the secretion of Follicle Stimulating

Hormone (FSH) and Lutenizing Hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland. Both of

these hormones stimulate the production of estrogen, which allows for menarche

and the development of secondary sexual characteristics. The aim of this research

is determine the menarcheal age and breast development in Purwokerto. I used 99

individual subject aged 8-14 years old which contained 28 menarche subjects. The

result showed that the menarcheal age average in Purwokerto was 12.4 years old.

In this study, the breast measurement showed three stages of breast development.

The youngest and the average age of Tanner stage two were 9 and 10 years old.

The youngest and average age of Tanner stage three were 10.8 and 12.5 years old.

Based on the result, menarche has correlated with the breast development stage

three. The present study had similar result between Bogor, Jakarta, but differ with

Pekalongan. This maybe because the samples from Purwokerto, Bogor, and

Jakarta came from urban areas whereas samples from Pekalongan came from rural

area.

Keywords: breast development, menarche, nutrition status, puberty, and

socioeconomic status

ABSTRAK

ARVINA OKTAVIANI. Menarcheal Age and Breast Development in

Purwokerto. Dibimbing oleh BAMBANG SURYOBROTO and PUJI RIANTI.

Pubertas adalah masa transisi dari kanak-kanak menjadi dewasa. Hal ini

terjadi sebagai akibat dari aktivitas hipofisis gonad sumbu hipotalamus yang

merangsang umpan balik hambat pusat dan menstimulasi Gonadotropin Releasing

Hormone (GnRH). Aktivasi GnRH merangsang sekresi Follicle Stimulating

Hormone (FSH) dan Lutenizing Hormone ( LH ) dari kelenjar pituitari. Kedua

hormon ini merangsang produksi estrogen yang memungkinkan untuk menarke

dan perkembangan karakteristik seksual sekunder. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk

menentukan umur menarke dan perkembangan payudara di Purwokerto. Saya

menggunakan 99 subyek usia 8-14 tahun yang terdiri dari 28 subjek yang telah

menarke. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata usia menarke di

Purwokerto adalah 12.4 tahun. Pengukuran payudara menunjukkan tiga tahap

perkembangan payudara. Usia termuda dan rata-rata Tanner tahap dua adalah 9

dan 10 tahun. Usia termuda dan rata-rata Tanner tahap tiga adalah 10.8 tahun dan

12.5 tahun. Berdasarkan hasil, menarke berkorelasi dengan perkembangan

payudara tahap tiga. Penelitian ini memiliki hasil yang sama antara Bogor dan

Jakarta tetapi berbeda dengan Pekalongan. Hal ini mungkin karena sampel

Purwokerto, Bogor, dan Jakarta berasal dari daerah perkotaan sedangkan sampel

Pekalongan berasal dari daerah pedesaan.

INTRODUCTION

Background

Puberty is a transition from childhood into adulthood. It occurs as a result of

the hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis activity. This activity stimulates the

central inhibitory feedback and lifts the Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone

(GnRH) pulse generator. For girls, the activation of GnRH increasingly stimulates

the secretion of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Lutenizing Hormone

(LH) from the pituitary gland. Both of these hormones stimulate the production of

estrogen, which allows for menarche (first menstruation) and the development of

secondary sexual characteristics (Rosen 2004). Menarche is the milestone that

indicates the capacity to reproduce (Rees 1993; Burt and McCartney 2010). This

event occurs mid to late puberty, after developmental events of secondary sexual

characteristics have occurred (Mansfield and Stubbs 2004).

Development of secondary sexual characteristics includes the growth of

pubic and axillary hairs, and development of breasts (Fox 2002). Breasts develop

through accumulation of fat and other connective tissues. Breast development can

be classified into five stages (Marshall and Tanner 1969). The first stage is called

pre-adolescent or pre-pubertal stage. In this stage, elevation of bud is occurring

only in the papilla. The second stage is called thelarche, where elevation occurs in

breast and papilla as a small mound and the areola diameter becomes large. In this

stage, puberty occurs. In the third stage, further enlargement of breast and areola

occurs without separation of their contours. In the fourth stage, the areola and

papilla are forming a secondary mound above the level of the breast. The last

stage is the mature stage, in which projection only occurs in the papilla, due to

recession of the areola to the general contour of the breast (Marshall and Tanner

1969). Fat accumulation relates to nutrition which fulfills needs of the body

(Hoffman et al. 2006).

Nutrition and socioeconomic status are some of determinants in the

menarcheal age (Karapanou and Papadimitriou 2010). Both of these determinants

are correlated. In Nigeria, the menarcheal age of girls with better socioeconomic

status were significantly earlier than those with the lesser socioeconomic status

(Ikaraoha et al. 2005). Similar studies have been conducted in other cities in

Indonesia which were Bogor, Pekalongan, and Jakarta, and other countries which

were Canada, France, Iran, and Kuwait. The urban living environment is

associated with better nutrition and living conditions, whereas a rural living

environment is associated with malnutrition and less good living conditions

(Kawulur et al. 2010).

There are many urban areas in Indonesia which have not been studied yet,

for examples Purwokerto. Purwokerto is the capital city of Banyumas, Central

Java. Based on the population census in 2010, the total population in Purwokerto

is 218,277 individuals consist of 111,135 men and 107,412 women (BPS 2012).

The aim of this research is to determine the menarcheal age and breast

development in Purwokerto.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Time and Place

The research was held on February until June 2013. Sampling was done in

Elementary Schools and Junior High Schools in Purwokerto. Data was analyzed

in Biosystematics and Ecology of Animals, Department of Biology, Bogor, IPB.

Sampling

The subjects of this research are girls between 8-14 years old. The numbers

of subjects used in this research are 99 individuals.

Informed Consent

Subjects were asked an informed consent. Before the tests begin, the

researcher stated the purpose of the research and the form of agreement. The

informed consent was administrated to the subject parents. When they agreed, the

informed consent was signed and completed the questionnaires.

Determination

Menarcheal Age

The menarcheal age was determined using status quo and recall methods

(Karapanou and Papadimitrou 2010). The status quo method is to ask if the

subject has or has not menstruated. The memory method is used to determine

from the subject’s memory at what age the first menstruation occurred. If the

subject is only considering the age of first menstruation, then the menstruation

date is considered to be the 1st of January in the calendar year. Otherwise, if the

subject is only considering the calendar year, then the menstruation date is

considered to be the 1st of July.

Breast Development

Breast development level was determined using anthroposcopy method by

breast observation directly. The stages of breast development determined

according to the Tanner classification (Marshall and Tanner 1969). I observed the

breast on the right side and asked the subject to took off the breast cover for direct

observation.

Nutrition and Socioeconomic Status

Family food expenditure per month was used to determine the nutrition

status and socioeconomic status. It was asked in questionnaires with 4 categories

of family food expenditure.

3 Rp1 000 000 ≤ n ≤ Rp1 500 000

4 n > Rp1 500 000

Statistical Analysis

The percentage of subject who has or has not menstruated was calculated for

each classes of age. The statistical analysis was done using Probit-GLM method

(Venables and Ripley 1999) implemented in R program version 3.0.1. This

method was determined to discover the menarcheal age average and breast

development stages.

RESULTS

I used 99 individual subjects, aged 8-14 years old, which contained 28

menarche subjects (Table 1). The average of menarcheal age in Purwokerto was

12.4 years old. Menarcheal age was categorized into early maturers which had

probability below 11.6 years old (less than 25 percentile); average maturers which

had probability between 11.6 to 13.1 years old (26-75 percentile); and late

maturers which had probability more than 13.1 years old (76 percentile and over)

(Figure 1).

In this 8-14 years old study, the breast measurement showed three stages of

breast development. The youngest age of first recognizable enlargement of breasts

(Tanner stage two) occurred at 9 years old with the average age was 10 years old.

In the other hand, the youngest age of Tanner stage three was 10.8 years old with

the average age was 12.5 years old (Table 2; Figure 2). Based on the result,

menarche had correlation with the breast developmental stage three.

The family food expenditure was gotten from 24 subjects of 28 menarche

subjects. These are the subjects that completed the family food expenditure

question in the questionnaires (Table 2). If we use Rp1 000 000 as cut off, about

half of them were lower and half other upper socioeconomic statuses. There were

no correlation between these socioeconomic levels and menarcheal age.

DISCUSSION

Puberty is a transition from childhood into adulthood marked by changes in

reproduction ability and development of secondary sexual characteristics. The

average of menarcheal age in Purwokerto was 12.4 years old. It is similar with

Bogin’s statement (1999) that menarcheal age occurred in the median age of 12.1–

13.5 years old. The comparison between present result with other areas showed

that the oldest menarcheal age is in Nigeria (Ikaraoha et al. 2005). (Table 4).

Menarche is the first external indicator of reproduction ability although

breast starts to develop prior to this event. The youngest age of thelarche was at 9

years old. The thelarche (Tanner stage two; Marshall and Tanner 1969) is onset of

breast development, recognized by visible elevation of areola and papilla

mammae. Menarche usually occurred in the breast development stage three.

Page 16: MENARCHEAL AGE AND BREAST DEVELOPMENT IN … · Pekalongan. This maybe because the samples from Purwokerto, Bogor, and Jakarta came from urban areas whereas samples from Pekalongan

Likewise the result on this study, menarche occurs in correlation to breast

development stage three. Breast develops through accumulation of fat and other

connective tissues (Hoffman et al. 2006) and brought about primarily by the

influence of estrogens. Fat is deposited and functions as a matrix allowing

epithelial glandular proliferation. It is proposed that fat mass is a facilitator for the

timing of puberty in girls (Garcia-Mayor et al. 1997). Fat will be accumulated in

breast during more or less 2.4 years before menarche. This result similar with

previous study in Iran which is the duration is 2.4 years (Rabbani et al. 2010).

This accumulation related to nutrition which fulfills the needs of body. If nutrition

is excessive, fat will be more formed. On the other hand, if nutrition is lack, fat

will be less formed.

Nutrition and socioeconomic status are some of determinants in

menarcheal age (Karapanou and Papadimitriou 2010). Normal growth pattern can

be obtained from healthy subject with a good nutrition and good family

socioeconomic background. Nutrition and socioeconomic status can be seen from

family food expenditure (Suhartini 2007). Based on Keputusan Gubernur Jawa

Tengah no 561.4/58/2012, the minimum wage of Banyumas is Rp 877,500.00.

About half of population spent food expenditure at less than minimum wage. It is

shown that girls with low family food expenditure could grow normally and did

not lack nutrition; however, present sample was too small to draw any conclusion.

The present study had similar result between Bogor (Suhartini 2007) and

Jakarta (Alchoiriah 2010) but differ with Pekalongan (Ulinnuha 2008) (Table 4).

This maybe because of the samples from Purwokerto, Bogor, and Jakarta came

from urban areas whereas samples from Pekalongan came from rural area. This

comparison also conducted between present study in Purwokerto with other

countries, which were Nigeria (Ikaraoha et al. 2005), Canada (Al-Sahab et al.

2010), France (Gaudineau et al. 2010), Iran (Golchin 2012), and Kuwait (Al-

Awadhi et al. 2013). The comparison showed that the youngest menarcheal ages

are in Indonesia (Purwokerto) and Kuwait. Meanwhile, the oldest menarcheal age

was in Nigeria (Table 4). These differences occurred because the studies in

Indonesia, Kuwait, Iran, Canada, and French came from the urban environments

(Etemadifar et al. 2006; Wilson et al. 2009; Gaudineau et al. 2010; Al-Awadhi et

al. 2013) which had better socioeconomic status whereas samples from Nigeria

came from poor country (Ifinedo 2006) which had lesser socioeconomic status.

Girls who lived in urban area got menarche earlier than whom lived in rural area.

CONCLUSION

The average of menarcheal age in Purwokerto was 12.4 years. Thelarche

and breast development stage three occurred at the average age of 10 and 12.5

years. Menarche occurred in the breast development stage three.
