The age when a woman first starts having her period may impact her risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure, study finds. - TodayShow

The results are based on data from 648 adult women who had symptoms of heart disease and who reported the age when they first startedas part of research conducted by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. They were followed for six years to see what heart problems they developed.

Women who experienced earlier or later menarche “may differ in fundamental ways” from women who got their first period on time, the JAMA study authors noted, though they weren’t exactly sure how. OtherThe theory used to be that the earlier a woman started menstruating, the longer her organs were exposed to estrogen over the course of her life. That does correlate with cancer risk, but it doesn’t correlate well with heart disease, Pepine said.

“They appeared to have very strong correlation with the adverse outcomes that these women experienced later on in life,” Pepine noted. “There’s something in their body make-up that’s orchestrating this inflammation, and this inflammation is systemic, it involves their blood vessels and it’s associated with not very good things down the road.”

TODAYshow Period mongering is trending on Twitter.

TODAYshow I'm sorry, girls didn't have their periods that early back in the 1960's folks, 14 - 16 yr old was far more common.

PattyArquette TODAYshow if you're going to cite a study, link to it. your link says the study data 'is published elsewhere' not acceptable. and the MD behind this study sits in 12 Pharma boards. fyi

PattyArquette TODAYshow Inside voice this is not FB

TODAYshow My first question is, how many women remember exactly how old they were when they got their first period?

TODAYshow Let me guess -- the younger the woman is when she gets her first period, the greater her heart attack risk. Early menstruation is linked to consumption of animal products, from hormones in the meat. Meat also has cholesterol, which increases heart attack risk.

TODAYshow So women should not start their period! Who dafuq comes up with such crap? Who funds these? Is it where our hard earned tax money goes so that some gen-z good for nothing cash grabbing researchers can come up with this?

TODAYshow 11,12,13,14 and only 648 women with no control group, etc. Sounds like a poorly done study.

TODAYshow Definitely fake news.

TODAYshow So I guess my aunt who died the last week in August probably got her cycle when she was 37yrs old, since she was 106 when she died
