Women who experience early menopause may face up to a 40% higher lifetime risk of developing heart disease, according to findings from a recent study. Researchers say the earlier decline in estrogen levels could contribute to changes in blood vessels, cholesterol levels, and overall cardiovascular health.
Health experts advise women who enter menopause before the age of 45 to pay closer attention to heart health by maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and undergoing routine medical check-ups. The study highlights the importance of early screening and preventive care to reduce the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease.
