Abstract

This research is based on the assumption that geographical location will affect the incidence of "menarche" in a girl. Thus, the main objective of the research was to find out the differences in the incidence of "menarche" among female students in the highlands and lowlands. This research is a descriptive research. The number of samples was 255 people, consisted of 5-8 grade students aged 10-14 years in Lembang, Kuningan and Cirebon West Java. The sampling technique used was random technique. The research results showed that there were menarche differences between students in the highlands and lowlands. Menarche of the schoolgirls studying and living on highlands generally occurs above the age of 11 years, while on the lowlands, the percentage of menarche occurrence experienced at the age of 11 years. Menarche experienced by girls at the age of 10 years is more common to happen to the girls living on the lowlands, while menarche delay occurred to schoolgirls living more on the highlands than on the lowlands.
