From Menarche to Menopause: timing the reproductive health bookends of women in LMICs Understanding the timing and determinants of age at menarche and menopause is key to determining potential linkages between the onset of puberty, the end of reproductive life and health outcomes from a life course perspective. Yet, we have little information in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) mainly due to lack of data and some would argue lack of interest. Scant evidence shows that age at menarche is lowering due mainly to improvements in nutrition and age at menopause might be occurring earlier in low-income settings but so far, the data relate to small studies and are not generalisable. This could have implications for women’s wellbeing. This presentation will present the issues around data availability and health framing as well as trends in menarche and menopause in LMICs and the interconnection between the two (where possible) both at macro and micro level.
