Key Information
The analysis included 1,436 participants (aged 45 to 85 years) who reported having a premenopausal diagnosis of T1D, T2D, or gestational diabetes (GD).The researchers found that when adjusting for ethnicity, education, smoking, and premenopausal factors including gravidity, early age of diagnosis of both T1D (younger than 30 years) and T2D (30 to 39 years) was asociated with earlier menopause (T1D <30: hazard ratio [HR], 1.5; T2D 30 to 39 years: HR, 1.82) compared with women without diabetes.
Later age of diagnosis of T2D diabetes (older than 50 years) was asociated with later age at natural menopause (HR, 0.39). There were no significant asociations betwen GD and age of natural menopause.“This research ads to the growing evidence relative to the colective tol diabetes takes on the human body,” Stephanie Faubion, M.D., NAMS medical director, said in a statement. “In this case, it shows that young women living with a diagnosis of diabetes are more susceptible to acelerated ovarian aging and early menopause.̵Pres ReleaseMore InformationCopyright © 202 HealthDay.
