Summary: Recent reports indicate more frequent appearance of goiter,
sothe investigatzion aiming to assess the goiter prevalence inschool
children has been performed. Study embraces 1838 boys andgirls. The
presence of goiter has been assessed by the palpationof thiroid glands
using the criteria of WHO and by sonographicexamination. Prevalence of
goiter varies from 8-35% in differentparts of Croatia. Efficiency of iodine
prophylaxis and potentialchanges in the programme are discussed.

Summary: The aim of the paper is to present the variations of mean
menarcheal age in girls in Croatia over last three decades. Research has
started in Zagreb in 1964 on the representative sample of school girls.
Survey were repeated in 1973, 1982 and 1991. In the late seventies research
has been extended over Croatia. Up to 1983 survey was performed in 24
localities. The next series of research took place from 1987 to 1993. In
the first period, 1977 to 1983, mean menarcheal age in different parts of
Croatia varied in the large scale, from 12.7 in Zagreb to 13.9 in Benkovac.
Early menarche, mean age 12.70-12.89 except in Zagreb, was noticed in girls
in three other big cities (Rijeka, Split and Osijek). Late menarhe - the
average over 13.30 years - was observed in Western Slavonija and Croatian
Zagorje, while the latest was noticed in Continental Dalmacija (13.6 to
13.9). Differences of menarcheal age according to parents occupation
suggested a strong influence of socio-economic factors. In whole period
from 1987 to 1993 the range of menarcheal averages is considerably
narrower, 12.76 to 13.28. In certain localities in which surveys were
performed in both periods - Nova Gradiška, Rijeka and Međimurje, a shift of
menarche towards the younger age is clearly observed. On the contrary, in
Zagreb and Split, an oposite trend was noticed, a slight shift of menarche
towards older age.

Summary: Research started in Zagreb secondary school pupils in
1966.Follow-up surveys were done in 1973, 1984, 1989 and 1991.
Singlecrossectional surveys were conducted in 13 other parts inCroatia.
Maximal smoking prevalence in boys was observed in 1966and in girls in
1973, but in older age groups of girls prevalenceincreased until mid
eighties. Percentage of smokers in both sexessharply decreased from 1989 to
1991. In other parts of Croatiaprevalence of smokers is very heterogenous.
In general girlssmoke less than boys.

Summary: The scope of the study is to assess features of sexual
behaviourin boys and girls aged 15 - 19 in Croatia. The study included2466
schoolboys and 2858 schoolgirls in 6 towns of Croatia.Sexual experince has
been present in 49% of boys and 22% ofgirls. 60% of sexually active
adolescents don't use anycontraceptive means. Rate in induced abortion in
Croatian girlsis much lower than in their peers in Western Europe and the
U.S.

Summary: The aim of this report is to estimate the influence of War
inCroatia on the health of the school children and adolescents. Theloss of
home and the separation from the family are consideredhigh risk factors.
More than 100.000 displaced children andadolescents were registered in
Croatia at the end of 1991.Changes in morbidity pattern of school children
could not yet beproved, but observations of school doctors indicate a
morefrequent occurrence of neurotic and psychologic disturbances.

Summary: The study focused on evaluating the impact of the
adolescentgrowth spurt on the onset of idiopathic scoliosis. A total of
362girls and 336 boys aged 9-12 were followed for 3 years to studytheir
growth and changes in spinal status in the pubertal period.The results show
that scoliotic children grew faster that thosewithout scoliosis. Also the
girls whose scoliosis developed froma previously normal body posture showed
a higher PHV. The mostfrequenst spinal changes occured in stages 2 and 3 of
breast.

schoolchildren and adolescents in Croatia. Up to the end of January1992, 42
children and youngsters aged 7 to 18 were killed and 249injured. Besides,
this age group has formed more than one thirdof displaced persons and
refugees. The risks for their health andnormal growth and development are
considered. It is too early toassecc how lasting or serious will be the
ffects of this war tothe health of our young generation.

Summary: The purpose of the study was to assess the correlation of
menarche and the similarity of other features of pubertal development at
the onset of menarche in sisters compared to girls which are not in
kinship. The longitudinal study was performed in school girls in the city
of Osijek. 74 pairs of sisters i.e. 148 girls aged 9 6o 15 in which the
menstrual cycle had not started were embraced. The "nonrelated pairs" were
formed within the same group of girls. Results showed the significant
intrapair correlation of menarcheal age between sisters whereas the
correlation in nonrelated pairs did not exist. The body height at the onset
of menarche in both groups of pairs was positively correlated, but
significance was on higher level in sisters. Body weight varied in a large
range; the intraclass correlation being significant in pairs of sisters
only. Menarche appeared in almost equal distribution of breast and pubic
hair stage. However, the developmental stage in both characteristics showed
considerably higher concordance in sisters. Results confirm that age of
menarche as well as the total, complex course of pubertal development are
under high influence of genetic factors.

Summary: Age of the onset of pubertal changes varies in different
children. The time-span between the onset of puberty and the attaining of
the full physical maturity is different as well. So the children of the
same age are in different phases of physiological maturity, hence their
emotional and social needs differentiate too. However, the persons from
their environment - parents, teachers, peers - often do not recognise their
real needs, so the necessary support is lacking. Therefore the great deal
of educational difficulties, behaviour disturbances and even emotional
crises might have the roots in the neglected comprehension of great but
normal variability in physiological maturation. Variations in particular
pubertal changes are presented in the paper.
