Overview
- In1990, there were 467 million menopausal women worldwide. The prevalence of menopause is estimated to be about 25 million cases annually. By 2030, the number of menopausal women is projected to increase to 1.2 billion worldwide, with 47 million new cases annually
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence and Incidence
- In 1990 there were 467 million postmenopausal women in the world, with an average age of about 60 years, and the prevalence of menopause is estimated to be about 25 million cases worldwide will go into menopause annually.
- By 2030, menopausal women are projected to increase to 1.2 billion worldwide, with 47 million new cases annually.[1]
- The prevalence of menopausal symptoms differ in women according to areas and countries that they live them, the menopausal symptoms range from 74% of women in Europe, 36-50% in North America, 45-69% in Latin America, and 22-63% in Asia.[2]
- The prevalence of menopausal symptoms among women prescribed hormone therapy (HT), the mean age of patients was 54 years. The most common menopausal symptoms were: hot flushes (40 %), night sweats (17 %), insomnia (16 %), vaginal dryness (13 %), mood disorders (12 %), and weight gain (12 %). Among the 102 patients, 163 individual visits listing menopausal symptoms were identified, of which hot flushes (71 visits) were the most common symptom identified. 85 % of postmenopausal women have experienced a menopause-related symptom in their lifetime, and the Prevalence of vasomotor symptoms( hot flushes and/or night sweats) alone is estimated at approximately 40 to 50 million women in the United States.[3]
- Menopausal symptoms differ in women according to areas and countries that they live them e.g. shoulder pain in Japan, hot flush In the West, and low vision in India.[4]
Age
- The onset age of menopause between the ages of 50-53 in Europe.
- In North America, the onset age of menopause from 50-51years.
- In Latin America, the onset age of menopause from 44- 53 years.
- In Asia, the onset age of menopause from 42-49 years.[2]
Mortality rate
15% increased the risk of causes mortality among women at an early age at menopause. The relationship between menopause and mortality is unclear, Increased causes of mortality risk in women that never using postmenopausal hormones with natural menopause at ages <40. This study indicates that HRT use among women who experienced menopause at <45 years of age may increase the risk of mortality, women that are using estrogen and estrogen plus progestin therapy become have more increased risk for stroke. Another review reported a low risk of stroke for oral estrogen use among women who began HRT before age 65.[5]
Race
- The prevalence of menopause does not vary by race, but there are several small studies reporting that menopause occurs approximately six months earlier in Black women than White women who have the same age.
- The ethnic differences in the symptoms experienced during the menopausal transition were noted. Asian women had experienced the smallest number of menopausal symptoms compared with all other ethnic groups, but African American women had experienced the largest number of menopausal symptoms compared with other ethnic groups. Brazilian women had experienced highly prevalent and similar vasomotor symptoms like Western women.[6]
