At what age do women generally reach menopause? It depends on the person

Menopause is an important manifestation of women's menopause, which is the result of the natural decline of the ovaries as they age.

Relevant statistics show that the menopausal age of Chinese women ranges from 45 to 55 years old, with an average of 49.5 years old. It can be advanced to around 39 years old or delayed to around 60 years old. The reason is that the onset of menopause for each female friend is affected by many factors, such as genetic inheritance, physical fitness, race, nutrition, etc.

The actual time of menopause in women is closely related to the amount of estrogen secreted by the individual. If the estrogen secretion is high, the nutrition is good, and the physique is good, the menopause of female friends is generally around the age of 47. Women whose physical condition is not very good generally go through menopause around the age of 43.

In addition, the age of menopause is sometimes also closely related to regional lifestyle. The age of menopause for urban women is later than that for rural women.
