Factors That Influence Menopause Age
Genetics: Mother's menopause age is the strongest predictor.
Smoking: Accelerates follicle loss by 1–2 years.
BMI: Higher BMI may delay menopause.
Pregnancies: More pregnancies may delay menopause.
💡 Clinical Insight: The SWAN study, which followed over 3,000 women across the US, found that the average age of menopause is 51.4 for Caucasian women and 50.5 for African-American women.
