Early menopause speeds biological aging
The study indicates that women who give birth early and experience menopause before the typical age show signs of greater biological aging in blood tests. Early menopause was associated with an increase of approximately one month in biological age at least, according to an analysis of 29 studies involving more than 5,900 women. The test results are based on chemical markers linked to DNA and their changes with aging. It is noted that blood samples provided the most accurate reflection of overall body changes compared to saliva or cheek cell samples. Additionally, factors such as smoking, body weight, and illnesses may influence the relationship between menopausal age and biological aging. The study highlights that reproductive health and overall well-being impact the rate of aging.
