Study Finds Women’s Cardiovascular Changes Begin Nearly 20 Years Before Menopause
A study published in Hypertension reveals that cardiovascular changes in women, indicated by rising pulse pressure, may begin nearly 20 years before menopause, starting in their late 30s. This challenges the belief that menopause and estrogen decline are the primary triggers. Analyzing data from over 6,500 women and 3,000 men in the Framingham Heart Study, researchers found women’s pulse pressure rises earlier than men’s, regardless of menopause timing, leading to higher levels by age 60.
