虽然妇女可以预期在绝经期后生活一半的成年生活，但关于这一生理事件及其对随后的健康和生活质量的各种影响的知识仍然不完整。在马萨诸塞州，我们研究了7828名年龄在45至55岁之间的白色女性的随机样本（应答率，77%）。样本中至少月经的中位年龄为51.4岁。0.19（SE）年，我们没有发现任何证据表明，在过去的25年里，绝经年龄的长期趋势。目前吸烟者比不吸烟者平均早1.74年达到绝经期（t = 3.78，p < 0.01），但吸烟量的影响可以忽略不计。其他潜在的相关因素如婚姻状况、子女数量和城乡居住地对绝经年龄的影响不大。measured.sbd.education这些结果证实了临床人群早期的、更初步的发现。
Although women can expect to live one half of their adult lives beyond menopause, knowledge about this physiologic event and its various influences on subsequent health and quality of life remains incomplete. In Massachusetts we studied a population-based random sample of 7828 white women, aged 45 to 55 years (response rate, 77%). The median age at least menstruation for the sample is 51.4 .+-. 0.19 (SE) years, and we found no evidence of a secular trend towards a later age at menopause in the last 25 years. Current smokers reach menopause an average of 1.74 years earlier than nonsmokers (t = 3.78, p < 0.01), but the quantity smoked had a negligible effect. Other potential correlates measured.sbd.education and marital status, number of children, and urban/rural residence.sbd.have little effect on the age at menopause. The results confirm earlier, more tentative findings from clinical populations.
