Worried about early menopause? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. A new study out of Leeds University in the United Kingdom found a link between diet and the onset of menopause. The average onset age of menopause is 51. The study consisted of 35,000 women ages 35 to 69. They were surveyed and asked various lifestyle questions. Scientists found that the women who ate a lot of carbohydrates experienced menopause one and a half years earlier than average. Women who reported eating plenty of fish, beans, and peas experienced menopause three or more years later. A higher risk of osteoporosis, infertility, increased risk of heart disease, and loss of libido are all associated with early onset menopause. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing the early signs of menopause.
