A recent study in Australia has revealed that women who experience premature menopause are three times more likely to undergo chronic medical problems in their 60s, compared to women who went through the suggested age of menopause.

Reports of multiple women being diagnosed or treated for any of the 11 health problems in the past three years, were taken for study. The 11 problems being high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, osteoporosis, asthma, COPD, depression, anxiety or breast cancer. Women were considered to have multimorbidity if they had any two or more of these conditions.

Remedies to slow down the effects of premature menopause are improving diet and exercise, avoid smoking, body weight control, engagement in mentally stimulating activity and regular screening for cancer and other medical problems related to reproductive system.
