“…From May 1999 through August 2000, we recruited a convenience sample of 755 women from public parks, on the streets outside of their homes, in open markets, at bus stops, in small shops, and in front of large public buildings, such as the Social Security hospital in Puebla, Mexico. We canvassed the city neighborhood by neighborhood to provide a sample that included women from all social classes (Sievert & Hautaniemi, 2003;Sievert, 2006). We targeted women between 40 and 60 years and approached them to request their participation in the study, though we did not exclude women who were older or younger than this age range.…”

“…This study was based on data regarding TL drawn from an investigation of menopause that targeted women aged 40 to 60 years in the city of Puebla, capital of the Mexican state of Puebla (Sievert and Espinosa-Hernandez, 2003;Sievert and Hautaniemi, 2003). The collection of data about TL, and the finding that 42.2% of the women interviewed had undergone a TL, created an ideal opportunity to identify demographic and reproductive variables associated with TL in Puebla, Mexico.…”

“…Education level is a good marker of SES, and women of lower SES experience an earlier menopause [49,50] and more vasomotor symptoms than women of higher SES [8]. Anxiety has been shown to increase the incidence and severity of hot flushes [28], and the thermoneutral zone may be narrowed due to elevated sympathetic activity [11].…”

“…In all analyses, we control for variables that have a known impact on age at menopause, including education, smoking status, marital status, age at menarche, socio-economic status and nulliparity [38][39][40], except when stated otherwise. While we do not have information on hormone replacement therapy for our respondents, evidence suggests that few Indonesian women have ever used hormone therapy for their menopausal symptoms [41].…”

A test of the intergenerational conflict model in Indonesia shows no evidence of earlier menopause in female-dispersing groups

Menopause remains an evolutionary puzzle, as humans are unique among primates in having a long post-fertile lifespan. One model proposes that intergenerational conflict in patrilocal populations favours female reproductive cessation. This model predicts that women should experience menopause earlier in groups with an evolutionary history of patrilocality compared with matrilocal groups. Using data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey, we test this model at multiple timescales: deep historical time, comparing age at menopause in ancestrally patrilocal Chinese Indonesians with ancestrally matrilocal Austronesian Indonesians; more recent historical time, comparing age at menopause in ethnic groups with differing postmarital residence within Indonesia and finally, analysing age at menopause at an individuallevel, assuming a woman facultatively adjusts her age at menopause based on her postmarital residence. We find a significant effect only at the intermediate timescale where, contrary to predictions, ethnic groups with a history of multilocal postnuptial residence (where couples choose where to live) have the slowest progression to menopause, whereas matrilocal and patrilocal ethnic groups have similar progression rates. Multilocal residence may reduce intergenerational conflicts between women, thus influencing reproductive behaviour, but our results provide no support for the female-dispersal model of intergenerational conflict as an explanation of menopause.
