Correlation of stature and body weight and the eruption of permanent teeth with four sexual maturity criteria (menarche, pubic hair, axillary hair and breast development) was studied in 102 Southern Chinese girls aged between 11 years, 9 months and 12 years, 3 months and born and brought up in Hong Kong. With respect to all four selected criteria, the early sexual maturers were significantly taller and heavier and had more erupted permanent teeth with p values ranging from <0.01 to <0.001 levels than the late maturers.
