Neighborhood Vulnerability and Age of Natural Menopause and Menopausal Symptoms Among Midlife Women
In this cohort study, women who resided in neighborhoods with very high vulnerability within 10 years of the perimenopause period exhibited higher risk of earlier natural menopause. Future research is warranted to explore whether initiatives to improve neighborhood conditions could mitigate the association of neighborhood disadvantage with earlier menopause onset.
