'1 in 20 women' hit by early menopause

July 2011 - Early menopause occurs more frequently than previous believed, reports a recent study by researchers from the Imperial College London. In this, among the most comprehensive studies on the subject, nearly 5,000 women born in 1958 were followed throughout their lives and asked about their menopause and quality of life. The researchers found that that as many as 6 percent of women experience unexplained premature menopause, which occurs before the age of 40 and cannot be traced back to a hysterectomy or chemotherapy. Previous estimates of such occurrences had been as low as 1 percent.

The women who experienced early menopause were also much more likely to report poor quality of life, including a reduced sense of vitality, poorer physical function and mental health and greater perception of general health problems. Other studies have also linked early menopause to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular problems.
