[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0xmHnD8. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. The present study explores the effect of age at menarche on the incidence of asthma during early adulthood. The analysis was based on Canadian girls followed up from 8-11 to 18-21 years of age during the first 6 cycles (1994-2005) of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth. Early menarche was defined as 1 standard deviation less than the average age at menarche. Asthma occurrence after menarche was measured as asthma that was diagnosed by a health care professional. The authors used logistic regression to investigate the association between early menarche and incidence of asthma, adjusting for possible confounders. A total of 1,176 girls weighted to represent 352,345 Canadian girls were analyzed. The incidence of asthma after menarche was 11.2% (95% confidence interval : 8.3,14.0). The onset of early menarche (
