Early Menopause: Risk of Cardiovascular Disease United States - A more than doubled risk of developing cardiovascular disease was observed in postmenopausal women before age 46.
The results are being presented at The Endocrine Society's 92nd Annual Meeting in San Diego.
A Menopause is considered premature when it occurs before the age of 46 years, either spontaneously or by the removal of both ovaries. For the women concerned, all ethnicities, the risk of cardiovascular disease after 55 years would be more than doubled.
Unfortunately, treatment with hormone replacement can reduce these risks. In addition, the researchers behind this study can not yet explain this phenomenon. Therefore, these women will act on other factors related to cardiovascular diseases like hypertension or obesity.
