Premature menopause and hypertension as combined risk factors for cardiovascular events in women: a nationwide cohort analysis

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to assess the independent and combined effects of premature menopause (PM) and hypertension on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in postmenopausal women using a large nationwide cohort from Korea. Their findings indicate that both PM and hypertension significantly increase the risk of CVD, with the highest risk observed in women experiencing both conditions, highlighting the need for integrating these factors into CVD risk assessment and prevention strategies.
