Dunneram Y, et al. - Using regression modelling and adjusting for confounders, researchers examined the links between diet and age at natural menopause among women aged 40–65 years from the UK Women’s Cohort Study who had experienced a natural menopause between baseline and first follow-up. The permanent cessation of menstrual periods for at least 12 consecutive months was accepted as the definition of natural menopause. Four-year follow-up was conducted. A high intake of oily fish and fresh legumes were found to be related to delayed onset of natural menopause by 3.3 years per portion/day and 0.9 years per portion/day, respectively. Earlier menopause was reported in relation to the consumption of refined pasta and rice. A higher intake of vitamin B6 and zinc was also shown to be related to a later age of menopause. Overall, some food groups and specific nutrients are individually predictive of age at natural menopause.
