Women who reach menopause before age 40 face a meaningfully higher risk of developing high blood pressure than those who go through menopause after age 45, according to a new study of more than 107,000 women. Risk peaked among women who reached menopause prematurely between ages 25 and 35. The results are published in Menopause in the article “Premature menopause is associated with the development of high blood pressure: a UK Biobank cohort study.”
