Implication

Observational analysis reveals increased all-cause mortality with younger menopause age among postmenopausal women, suggesting reproductive timing influences long-term survival.

Key Points

Younger age at natural menopause or surgical menopause elevates all-cause mortality risk, whereas later menopausal onset correlates directly with extended lifespan.
Adjusted hazard ratios reached 1.48 for women experiencing natural menopause before 40 years, indicating substantially increased all-cause mortality risk.
Cox proportional hazard models evaluated 14,161 postmenopausal women from national surveys, highlighting reproductive timing as an indicator of long-term survival.
