Women who go through menopause earlier in life may be more likely to have a heart attack or stroke before they reach 60 than their counterparts who go through menopause later on, a recent study sugges

ts.

With early menopause, from age 40 to 44, women had a 30 percent greater risk of cardiovascular events after menopause; with relatively early menopause, from age 45 to 49, the increased risk was 12 percent. Women go through menopause when they stop menstruating. As the ovaries curb production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, women can experience symptoms ranging from vaginal dryness to mood swings, joint pain and insomnia.

Among women who had events like a heart attack or stroke after menopause, an average of 13.5 years passed between menopause and these cardiovascular events, researchers report in the Lancet Public Health. One limitation of the analysis is that many of the cardiovascular events were self-reported by study participants, not confirmed by medical records. It’s also possible that use of hormone therapy after menopause may have impacted the results, the study team notes.
