In addition, women who have undergone bilateral oophorectomy under the age of 45 years have been observed to be at increased risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease, particularly if they were not treated with estrogen. 26 However, women who underwent natural menopause before age 45 years had an increased risk of ischemic heart disease that was not attenuated by use of hormone therapy. 27 Further, early menopause has been associated with earlier decline in cognitive function. 28–30 Because 40 million women in the United States alone and several hundred million worldwide31 experienced the menopausal transition between 1990 and 2010 due to the aging of the baby boomer generation, 32 millions of women are undergoing or have recently undergone the menopause transition, and the timing of their final natural menstrual periods could have important clinical and health implications, because one third of women's lives is spent postmenopause.Although menopause is a universal phenomenon among women, the timing of the onset and the duration of the menopausal transition and the timing of the final menstrual period are not. 33 Most of our knowledge and perceptions of menopause have been based largely on studies of white women, and many have been studies of clinic-based, rather than populationbased, samples of women. Thus, until recently, much of the knowledge about the timing of the natural final menstrual period has been affected by the nature of the samples of women studied and a number of other methodologic differences in the studies of this phenomenon, which must be considered in comparing and summarizing their results.
