New research conducted by a research team at Tulane University revealed that beginning menstruation early in life may increase the risk of diabetes and stroke.
Researchers have linked early exposure to estrogen to the risk of diabetes and heart disease, because women who start menstruating early are exposed to it for a longer period, according to the Health Day website.
The researchers explained that the beginning of menstruation at or before the age of 10 doubles a woman’s chances of having a stroke before the age of 65.
The team followed 17,000 American women between the ages of 20 and 65 at the beginning of the study. Participants provided information about the start date of their menstrual cycle.
The research found that women who began menstruating at age 10 or younger had a 32% higher risk of developing diabetes, and the risk for those whose period began at age 12 was 29%.
These results do not provide a cause-and-effect relationship between the menstrual cycle and disease incidence, but they do detect a statistical correlation.
These results help guide medical follow-up and early preventive measures through nutrition or physical activity.
