“…Results of our study showed that the mean age of menopause in total population was 47.9 ± 5.7 and the mean age in natural and induced menopause was 49.2 ± 4.7 and 43.2 ± 6.4, respectively. Although the overall mean of menopause in our study is relatively similar to other province in Iran [11,12,[17][18][19], the mean age of natural menopause in Tabari cohort population is greater than other provinces except Hamedan (49.6 ± 4.0) [20]. Comparing to other countries, age of menopause in our study is less than Western world [6,21], but it is higher than Punjabi women (47.9 ± 3.2) [22].…”

Objectives:The age of menopause is affected by several factors. In this study we aimed to identify the age of natural menopause and its related factors in a large-scale population-based cohort in Iran. Methods: In this study, a subset of data collected during the enrollment phase of the Tabari cohort Study was utilized. Reproductive history and other related data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Blood samples were obtained from all participants. Data were analyzed using chi-square test, independent t test, and ANOVA as well as a multivariate linear regression model. Results: Among participants of the Tabari cohort, 2,753 were menopausal women. The mean age of natural and induced menopause was 49.2 ± 4.7 and 43.2 ± 6.4 years, respectively (P = 0.001). The number of pregnancies, duration of breastfeeding, level of education, residency, presence of thyroid disease, and body mass index affected the age of menopause. After adjustments for confounding variables, the number of pregnancies remained significantly associated with late menopause. Conclusions: The age of natural menopause in this study was similar to that in other studies, and the number of pregnancies was positively associated with the age of menopause after adjustments for confounding variables.

“…Association between marital status and menopausal age was inconsistent in previous studies [19,20]. In our study the number of single participants was very low and therefore we could not compare them with married participants.…”

“…Age at menopause in our studied sample is similar to previous estimates reported for other Iranian populations .In a cross-sectional study on 960 menopausal women in 2015 in Isfahan mean and median of natural menopause age were 48.66 and 48 years, respectively (22). In the present study, the mean age at permanent cessation of menstrual periods has significantly been increased and reached by 48 years in 2016.…”

Background prehypertension and hypertension are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Despite its importance, hypertension is often underestimated and undiagnosed, especially in women. This study was designed to determine trends in prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension, awareness, treatment, control and cardiovascular risk factors among the Iranian menopausal women. Methods This repeated Cross-sectional study was conducted on 8073 individuals which 1013 of these subjects were menopausal women older than 40, in Iran, in the years of 2001, 2007 and 2016. Samples were selected through random, multistage, cluster sampling. The data collected by the questionnaire included clinical information and blood pressure was determined via arm digital blood pressure monitors. Results The prevalence of hypertension was in the years 2001, 2007 and 2016, respectively % 52.6, % 49.0 and % 51.6, no significant changes were observed(p=0.628). The prevalence of Prehypertension over these years (% 56.6, %.53.3 and % 42.2) was significantly decreased (p=0.006). The Trends of awareness (p=0.015), treatment (p=0.009) and control (p<0.001) of hypertension in menopausal women with high blood pressure has significantly increased. Despite the increasing trends of drug treatment for hypertension, hypertension is uncontrolled in more than a third of subjects. Hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus and Body mass index increased significantly from 2001 to 2016 among the menopausal women. Conclusions The results showed that hypertension and Prehypertension are highly prevalent among Iranian menopausal women and markedly increased with age. Interventional population-based approaches are needed to improve knowledge and efficient practice that may help lower the risk for hypertension and CVD among this at risk population.

“…Prior studies, especially those that hypothesized the influence of ovulation or follicle attrition, have shown somewhat controversial results with respect to the timing of natural menopause. our results are consistent with previous reports with regard to the influence of age at menarche [8,38], maternal age at menopause [19], age at marriage [39], and parity [40,41] on menopausal age. moreover, other analyses have reported that parity was not a prediction factor per se, but that age at last delivery was directly associated with menopausal age [42].…”

Background. women experience many changes over the course of life, from menarche to pregnancy and menopause. The factors affecting natural menopause and the variation in women's menopausal age are not understood. Few studies to date have examined the mean age of menopause and factors affecting it among Saudi women. Objectives. To determine the association between menopausal age and lifestyle and reproductive factors. To assess knowledge and preventive practices relating to menopause. Material and methods. This cross-sectional study involved 500 Saudi women between the ages of 45 and 65 years who had no history of breast cancer or surgically induced menopause. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Results. The study involved 500 Saudi women aged 45-65, with a mean age of 51.4. ± 5.06 years and an average age at natural menopause of 49.5 ± 4.9 years. approximately 49.4% of participants were premenopausal, 21.8% were perimenopausal, and 28.8% were post-menopausal. analysis of lifestyle factors revealed that 26% never exercised and 56.6% were obese. regarding the influence of obstetric factors, there were statistically significant differences between groups based on age at menarche, age at marriage, maternal age at menopause, and number of pregnancies. We also assessed knowledge and health care practices (including mammograms, pap smears, dXA, vitamin d and calcium use, and colonoscopy) and menopausal status. Conclusions. BMi, age at menarche, maternal age at menopause, marital age and parity are associated with age at natural menopause. Knowledge about menopause did not influence common preventive measures for postmenopausal women.
