Factors associated with early menopause
Maturitas, 2000An understanding of why certain factors contribute to a more rapid decline in ovarian function may, for some women, help prevent premature loss of fecundity and the subsequent impact of health problems secondary to long-term estrogen deficiency such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and possibly Alzheimer's disease.A summary of the evidence ...

Clinical Effects of Early or Surgical Menopause
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2020Increasing numbers of women experience early menopause due in part to surgical treatment for benign gynecologic disorders and the rise in risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in women with BRCA mutations. Unfortunately, the adverse health consequences of early loss of ovarian function accelerate the menopausal state and affect multiple systems,

Early menopause due to an exhaustion of the ovarian follicles before the age of 40 years occurs in approximately 1% of women in this age range. Clinical signs of estrogen deficiency with amenorrhea and sterility are usually confirmed by hypergonadotrope hypogonadism at laboratory tests. The syndrome is to be differentiated from gonadotrophine resistant

Early Menopause: Primary Ovarian Insufficiency and Surgical Menopause
Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2010Early menopause, whether a consequence of primary ovarian insufficiency or resulting from surgical removal of gonads in a premenopausal woman, offers unique health-related challenges. Premature deprivation of sex steroids sets into motion a cascade of events that preferentially target urogenital, skeletal, cardiovascular, and neurocognitive systems ...

Early menopause and the risk of myocardial infarction
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1981We evaluated the relation between age at menopause and the risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) among 121,964 nurses who responded to a mail questionnaire. Of 279 women who reported having been hospitalized for MI, 123 (44%) were postmenopausal (i.e., no longer menstruating) at the time of hospitalization, compared with 1,859 (33%) of 5,580 age ...

Premature and Early Menopause in Relation to Cardiovascular Disease
Seminars in Reproductive Medicine, 2020AbstractPostmenopausal women have an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. It has been postulated that the loss of ovarian function and subsequent deficiency of endogenous estrogens after menopause contributes to this elevated risk of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women.

Early menopause in women with Down's syndrome
Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 1997AbstractWe used the AAMR's Adaptive Behavior Scale to ascertain current menstrual status in a population‐based sample of 157 women with Down's syndrome (DS) and 187 women with other intellectual disability, all 40 years of age or older. The age‐adjusted likelihood of menopause was twice as high in women with DS syndrome as in women with other ...

Neuroendocrine physiology of the early and late menopause
Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2004Hormonal integration of the reproductive system is dramatically affected by reproductive aging. The progressive loss of ovarian follicles with normal aging is accompanied by an initial decrease in inhibin B and a concomitant increase in follicle-stimulating hormone.
