Abstract
A survey of the age incidence of secondary sex development in an institutionalized population of mentally deficient males and females has shown that there is a tendency for a delay in the appearance of secondary sex features in the mentally retarded, when compared with a cross-section of the population as presented by Kinsey and Pryor. Differences within 4 diagnostic groups and 3 IQ groups of the mentally deficient patients were compared and found not to be statistically significant with the exception of axillary hair for the mongoloid girls between 14 and 17 years of age.Keywords
