Early Menopause Risk in Women

Heart disease in women is the leading cause of death in women after menopause.

The study has found that women who underwent early menopause were about twice as likely to eventually have coronary artery disease and stroke.

Estrogen (hormones that are important for sexual and reproductive development, mainly in women) levels generally decline during menopause. And this estrogen helps to combat the build up of unhealthy cholesterol and have a positive effect on the inner layer of artery wall, helping to keep blood vessels flexible allowing them to relax and expand to accommodate blood flow.
