Less sex linked to premature menopause

Fact is, menopause happens to all women eventually. Itis a natural physiological process that marks the end of fertility in women—cessation of ovulation and menstruation— with the average age at 51.5 years among Kenyan women. But it can happen as early as 30’s. Research published in the US National Library of Medicine journal estimates that premature menopause affects 1 per cent of women under the age of 40 years. Women who undergo premature menopause are at an elevated risk of developing heart disease, osteoporosis and depression.
