OBJECTIVES: To determine the factors associated with the decrease in the age of menarche, in women born in Trujillo-Peru between 1971 and 2011. MATERIAL AND METHODS: By means of an observational, analytical, sectional-transversal design in 280 women from Trujillo-Peru, distributed in 4 groups of woman born in the decades: G1 (1971-1981), G2 (1982-1991), G3 (1992-2001) and G4 (2002-2011), using a survey technique, the age of menarche and the presence of factors associated with its decrease will be determined. RESULTS: The age of menarche decreased from 14.62 years in women born in the decade 1971-1981 to 10.98 in women born between 2002-2011. By simple linear regression the estimated trend was -0.83 years/decade (p<0.001). The decrease in the age of menarche was reported in 32.5% of respondents, by the chi square statistical test, a significant association was obtained with all the factors studied (p<0.001), which constitute risk factors: urban origin (OR=1.619, 95% CI: 1.465-1.789), age of menarche of the mother <12 years (OR=8.889, 95% CI: 3.978-19.861) and overweight-obesity (OR=14.136, 95% CI: 6.474-30.863); On the other hand, the lower educational level of the father and mother are protective factors for decreased age at menarche (OR=0.196, 95% CI: 0.081-0.477 and OR=0.101, 95% CI: 0.036-0.289). However, for multinomial logistic regression, only the age at menarche of the mother <12 years and overweight-obesity are risk factors for this decreasing trend occurs (p=0.000). CONCLUSIONS: The age of presentation of menarche has a downward trend, being factors associated with this trend overweight-obesity and early menarche of the mother.
