Tanner staging, also known as sexual maturity rating, is a uniformly accepted scale to describe the onset and progression of pubertal changes. Girls are rated on a 1-5 scale based on their breast development and pubic hair growth. In females, the normal onset of puberty ranges from ages 8 to 13 years.
Breast staging as well as other physical markers of puberty (eg, height velocity) are more reliable than pubic hair staging for assessing pubertal development since the adrenal axis matures independently.
