โœฆ Synopsis

The objectives of this study were to identify factors related to history of hysterectomy; to evaluate whether or not subgroups with different rates of hysterectomy also report significantly different mean ages at natural menopause; and to consider how variation in rates of hysterectomy may affect intrapopulation and cross-population comparisons of median ages at natural menopause. Data were drawn from a community sample in upstate New York. It is demonstrated that hysterectomy rates are not random with respect to variables that are also related to age at natural menopause. For example, women reporting high levels of education reported lower rates of hysterectomy and earlier mean ages at menopause. In addition, median ages at menopause and rates of hysterectomy were examined by correlation and regression analysis across a selection of industrialized countries. Avenues for further study are suggested. Am.

the age at onset of breast cancer is significant for clinical diagnosis and treatment. I t is possible that this information may also aid in establishing the factors and the time relationships in the etiology of breast cancer. This may be particularly true with regard to the period of the menopause

Multi-wave self-report data on age at menopause in 2182 female twin pairs (1355 monozygotic and 827 dizygotic pairs), were analysed to estimate the genetic, common and unique environmental contribution to variation in age at menopause. Two complementary approaches for analysing correlated time-to-on
