Natural menopause was defined

Post by asimj1 »

Information on menstrual periods was collected at age 44/45, 50 and 55 in the NCDS. as at least 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea not induced by surgery or other medical treatment. If this occurred before australia rcs data age 45 we classified women as having gone through early menopause. Five percent of our sample were classified as having been through early menopause.

At age 50 women were asked whether they had experienced symptoms associated with menopause in the previous 12 months and, if so, how much each symptom bothered them. Of 22 symptoms women reported an average of 7.5, and 1.6 ‘bothersome’ symptoms.

We obtain time in employment and time in full-time employment from work histories collected at survey interviews. We derive cohort members’ main employment activity each year for the 35 years from age 20 to age 55.

Our estimation sample is 3,405 women who had not received hormone replacement therapy or undergone surgery to remove the womb or ovaries, and excludes those with missing data, including those with substantial missing work history data.
