Abstract:
Menarche and menopause are two important physiological periods that denote the beginning and the end of normal reproductive life.Studies have suggested that ages at menarche and menopause are important biological markers,and are also predictors of several chronic diseases.We published one manuscript in J Clin Endocrinol Metab titled Associations between age at menarche and menopause with cardiovascular disease,diabetes,and osteoporosis in Chinese women,which suggested that ages at menarche and menopause are not associated with diabetes,delayed menarche and menopause are associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular disease risk and early menopause with high risk of osteoporosis.
