Early Menopause Is Linked to Heart Risk

In a new analysis of a multiethnic population, early menopause has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. The study, in the October issue of Menopause, looked at 2,509 white, Chinese, black and Hispanic women ages 45 to 84. All were healthy at the start of the study, and researchers followed them for an average of about five years. The 693 women who reported reaching menopause, naturally or surgically, at 46 or younger had about twice the risk for stroke or heart disease compared with those who reached menopause at an older age, the researchers found. The authors controlled for many factors but acknowledged that their study depended on self-reports of the age of menopause, which are not always accurate. The lead author, Dr. Melissa Wellons, an assistant professor of endocrinology at Vanderbilt who did the work when she was at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, said the mechanism was unclear. It is possible that certain factors, genetic or otherwise, contribute to both cardiovascular risk and early menopause. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAT9lu5vvxs afleurs.net wellsww.com fukuyamajapan.com nhiconsulting.com videonymph.com an2003.com hiwayhifionline.com anitagrier.com cwauctions.com sonyworld.net femalegirdle.com lamisionera2.com
