Study Finds Early Menopause Linked to Premature Death

An updated study shows that women who go through menopause early have a higher chance of passing away before their time.

Newsweek said that menopause is a normal biological process that ends a woman's sexual years and her period.

Two studies from the University of Oulu and Oulu University Hospital found that people who got POI on their own had four times the risk of dying young from cancer and twice the risk of dying young from heart disease.

Going through menopause before age 40 is known as premature menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Les femmes who still have periods are in the 1%. 

From what we know, this is the biggest study that looks at the link between young ovarian failure and death risk. The study's author, Hilla Haapakoski, said this.

According to her, their study is one of the first to look at how women's all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer-related deaths are affected by both surgical and natural early ovarian insufficiency. They also looked at whether hormone replacement therapy for more than six months might lower the risk of death.

Haapakoski went on to say, "Our results suggest that women who have spontaneous premature ovarian insufficiency should have extra care given to their health to lower the number of deaths that happen too soon."

“Many health risks of women with premature ovarian insufficiency have not been well understood, and the use of HRT is often ignored,” Haapakoski said as a conclusion. We hope that by making health care workers and the women themselves more aware of the risks, we can improve their health.
