Can menopause slow to appear?

According to a new study, women will soon experience menopause if there is a high risk of cardiovascular disease, especially high blood pressure or excess cholesterol. Therefore, monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol ratio may contribute to the delay in menopause.

Researchers have investigated whether the increased risk of cardiovascular disease is due to the occurrence of menopause or vice versa. They found the answer by looking at the data of a study called ' Framingham ' of the United States that tracked 700 women since 1948. Many data were collected regularly, including the menopause age of These women, as well as their blood pressure, cholesterol and weight measurements before menopause, are well known three risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

As a result, women with the highest cholesterol rates before menopause are early menopause, similar to women with hypertension and overweight.

In contrast, women with lower cholesterol rates were later menopausal, similar to those in women without high blood pressure and not overweight.

The researchers concluded that cardiovascular diseases and risk factors for early menopause, not vice versa. This is a good reason for women to monitor and adjust their cholesterol, blood pressure and weight.
