Association of early menopause with indoor air pollution: A multilevel modelling analysis of the nationally representative cross-sectional study in India
The findings reveal that IAP, from sources such as smoke and pollutants, significantly increases the risk of early menopause among Indian women. Urban women are more affected by pollution, whereas indoor smoking impacts both urban and rural women. Enhancing indoor air quality could reduce early menopause and improve women's health in India.
