There are some known ethnic differences in pubertal timing, although these are difficult to study due to restrictions on research involving minors in the United States. However, pediatric studies have tended to reveal evidence of very significant ethnic variation in menarche for girls. For example, the population of African-American girls typically reaches menarche at an earlier age than the populations of white American and Hispanic-American girls in the United States. Similar variations occur world-wide.
Due to the considerable differences in diet and health around the world, we see quite a difference in age at menarche. Generally, the average age of menarche is higher in countries where individuals are more likely to be malnourished or to suffer from diseases.
