“…For the latter group, depression was significantly negatively correlated with job performance, while for non-managers, mood changes and night sweats showed a similar association. Occupational classification may affect menopausal onset, with manual workers experiencing it earlier than white collar employees in two studies (42,43), although the relationship between early onset menopause and heavy physical work conditions is disputed elsewhere (44). Non-white collar occupational status may be a risk factor in the burdensomeness of menopausal symptoms (15).…”

“…31 Some findings suggest an inverse association between age at menopause and older birth cohorts. 13,30 These results may be explained in different ways, but as suggested by the same authors, "it is possible that the difference in early menopause proportions might be attributed to the fact that the early lives of the two generations were differently influenced, in particular, by the second world war and nutritional circumstances". 30 Another potential explanation for the differences with our results may be that the previous studies were carried out in much older cohorts than our population, and it may be possible that younger cohorts present an earlier menopause because of the effect of different reproductive and lifestyle patterns (especially with regards to diet and exercise).…”

“…13,14,[30][31][32] A good explanation for this inconsistency has not been identified. However, it is important to say that some other studies do not find any cohort effect, 14 nor observe a clear trend across birth cohorts.…”

ResumenObjetivo. Evaluar la relación entre factores reproductivos, estilo de vida y la ocurrencia de menopausia natural temprana. Material y métodos. Un estudio de casos y controles fue conducido en una población basal de 2 510 mujeres participantes en la "Cohorte de trabajadores IMSS". Los casos fueron definidos como aquellas mujeres que presentaron la menopausia natural a los 47 años o menos. La información fue colectada a través de cuestionarios autoapicables. AbstractObjective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between certain reproductive and lifestyle factors and the occurrence of early natural menopause. Material and Methods. A case/control study was conducted on a basal population of 2 510 women participating in the "Mexican Institute of Social Security health workers cohort study". Cases were defined as those women for whom natural menopause presented by age 47. Information was obtained through a self-administered questionnaire. Results.

“…Ovarian failure is a recognised complication of uterine artery embolisation and developed in 2% of women under the age of 45 12,35 . It would seem that premature menopause occurs in approximately 1% of the normal population under the age of 40 and in 4% under the age of 45 36,37 . In a recent publication, the rate of amenorrhoea after embolisation reached 12% in women over 45 38 .…”

Objective To evaluate the mid-term efficacy and complications of uterine artery embolisation in women with symptomatic fibroids. To assess reduction in uterine and dominant fibroid volumes using ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. Design Prospective observational single-centre study.Setting A district general hospital in Surrey and a private hospital in London.Methods Four hundred consecutive women were treated between December 1996 and February 2001.Indications for treatment were menorrhagia, menstrual pain, abdominal swelling or bloating and other pressure effects. Uterine artery embolisation was performed using polyvinyl alcohol particles and platinum coils. Main outcome measures Imaging was performed before embolisation and at regular intervals thereafter.Clinical evaluation was made at regular intervals after embolisation to assess patient outcome. Results Bilateral uterine artery embolisation was achieved in 395 women, while 5 women had a unilateral procedure. With a mean clinical follow up of 16.7 months, menstrual bleeding was improved in 84% of women and menstrual pain was improved in 79%. Using ultrasound, the median uterine and dominant fibroid volumes before embolisation were 608 and 112 cc, respectively, and after embolisation 255 and 19 cc, respectively ( P ¼ .0001). Three (1%) infective complications requiring emergency hysterectomy occurred. Twenty-three (6%) patients had clinical failure or recurrence. Of these, nine (2%) had a hysterectomy. Twenty-six (7%) women had permanent amenorrhoea after embolisation including four patients under the age of 45 (2%). Of these, amenorrhea started between 4 and 18 months after embolisation, and only three had elevated follicle stimulating hormone levels when amenorrhea developed. Thirteen (4%) women had chronic vaginal discharge considered as a major irritant. Thirteen pregnancies occurred in 12 patients. Ninety-seven percent of women were pleased with the outcome and would recommend this treatment to others. Conclusions Uterine artery embolisation is associated with a high clinical success rate and good fibroid volume reduction. Infective complications requiring hysterectomy, amenorrhoea under the age of 45 and chronic vaginal discharge may complicate the procedure. INTRODUCTIONS
