The disease to which women who enter menopause later are exposed

Several studies have shown, over time, that early menopause is more harmful to a woman’s health, because it can come with heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and depression, among others.

Now, a new study links a later age at menopause with an increased risk of asthma, according to a report published by Menopause and named by Health Day.

And other studies so far have suggested a link between asthma and sex hormones.

It is no coincidence, scientists say, that childhood asthma is more common in boys. After childbirth, however, asthma occurs more often in girls. And in adults it is still more common among women.

Women also tend to have more severe asthma and are less likely to get remission from infections.

Some studies have found that the peak of asthma is around the age of 40, which is usually the age of the menopause transition, while other studies have found a peak at the average age of menopause, which is 51 years.

Because the results of studies related to asthma have been uncertain and, in some places, contradictory, scientists conducted this new study, based on 10 years of data analysis of more than 14,000 women in menopause. The research was designed to examine the relationship between age of natural menopause and the prevalence of asthma in postmenopausal women who do not smoke.

He found that women with early menopause (which occurs between the ages of 40 and 44) ​​have a lower risk of asthma, leading scientists to conclude that estrogen plays a role in asthma risk.
