Age and diagnostic assessment of natural menopause in low-weight women
Listen to this summary
This study investigates the age of natural menopause in low-weight women (BMI <18.5 kg/m²) and the reliability of laboratory evaluations in confirming menopausal status. The findings indicate that lower BMI is associated with earlier menopause, with a significant portion of low-weight women having non-diagnostic follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, suggesting potential misclassification of menopausal status in this demographic.
