![]() The aim of this study was to systematically investigate and meta-analyze the best evidence regarding the association of menopausal age with the risk of developing T2DM. However, whether EM or POI per se is associated with increased risk of T2DM is unknown. The association of T2DM with increased CVD risk has been well documented in both genders, although women with T2DM seem to be at a higher relative CVD risk compared with their male counterparts ( 15). With respect to glucose metabolism, the true effect of endogenous hormonal milieu during menopause on T2DM risk is controversial, since some, but not all, studies have shown a possible association between EM and increased risk of T2DM ( 11, 12, 13, 14). Except the vasomotor symptoms affecting the woman’s quality of life, transition to menopause has also been associated with a potential higher cardiovascular (CVD) risk, mainly attributed to a more atherogenic lipid profile, central adiposity and glucose intolerance ( 5, 6, 7, 8).īoth early menopause (EM) and POI have been associated with increased risk of death and CVD in recent meta-analyses ( 9, 10). About 1% of women enter menopause under the age of 40 (0.1% under the age of 30), a condition termed ‘premature ovarian insufficiency’ (POI) ( 3, 4). However, approximately 10% of the female population enter menopause before 45 years, a condition termed ‘early’ or ‘premature’ menopause ( 3). The average age at menopause is 50–52 years ( 2).
