Study Links Early Menopause to Increased Cardiovascular Risk in South Asian Women
A Lancet study analyzing data from over 111,000 women across 26 countries found that premature menopause (before 40) and early menopause (40-44) increase the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke. South Asian women, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, experience menopause earlier and face higher risks. The study highlights factors such as air pollution and diet, emphasizing the need for targeted monitoring and prevention strategies.
