Women’s cardiovascular changes may begin up to 20 years before menopause: Study
A study published in Hypertension indicates that cardiovascular changes in women may start up to 20 years before menopause, contradicting previous beliefs. Analyzing data from over 6,500 women, researchers found that pulse pressure began rising in women in their late 30s, while men saw changes in their late 40s. This shift suggests other factors influence heart health beyond menopause.
