Aussie study shows early menarche ups likelihood of vasomotor symptoms during menopause
Women who experience menarche at an early age are at higher risk of more frequent and severe hot flushes and night sweats, particularly if they are overweight, Australian research shows.
The findings point to the need for early intervention programs, especially weight management programs, for women who experienced early menarche (11 years or younger), say the University of Queensland researchers.
