Menopause is defined retrospectively as the cessation of spontaneous menses for 12 months. Worldwide, most women enter menopause between the ages of 49 and 52 years. In the United States, the average age of menopause is 51 years. An estimated 6000 US women reach menopause each day, and with increasing life expectancy, will spend approximately 40% of their lives in the postmenopause phase. Factors associated with earlier menopause include smoking, lower body mass index, nulliparity, and lower educational attainment
