Postmenopausal status and early menopause as independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease: a meta-analysis

Abstract: Overall, there was no convincing relationship between postmenopausal status and cardiovascular disease. However, there was a modest effect of early menopause on cardiovascular disease. The effect was more pronounced for women with an artificial menopause than for women with a natural menopause.

“…In the same study, there was also evidence for a greater risk of CHD and stroke more than 1 year post menopause. However, these findings were in contrast to those in an Italian population 14 , which found no increased risk of myocardial infarction in post-menopausal women less than 10 years, 10-20 years and more than 20 years post menopause compared with pre-or peri-menopausal women.…”

“…The findings of this systematic review on the risk of CVD associated with early menopause generally concur with and further extend a previous review 14 , which reported an increased risk of CVD for women at menopausal age of 50 years or younger compared with menopausal age ≥51 years. However, the findings of the previous review were based only on few prospective studies (7 prospective cohort studies) and therefore the authors were not able to compare other age categories with the risk of CVD.…”

“…Exploring relationships between sedentary behaviour and symptoms may provide insight in the variety of body systems affected by sedentary behaviour. Mid aged women are a priority target group for such research, as transmenopausal changes can initiate an increase in incidence of chronic disease (Atsma et al, 2006;Meema and Meema, 1976).…”

“…Em mulheres jovens com FOP, os benefícios da terapia de reposição hormonal geralmente superam os riscos potenciais (23). A ausência de reposição de estrogênio nas mulheres jovens pode ocasionar maior risco de doença cardíaca coronária tardia, possivelmente devido à deficiência de estrogênio (44)(45)(46)(47). Como um exemplo, dois estudos sugerem que as mulheres com FOP apresentam disfunção endotelial vascular significativa, a qual é restaurada ao normal por terapia com estrogênio (45,46).…”
