Lifestyle During Menopause Affects Cardiovascular Mortality
-
A study published in the Spanish Journal of Cardiology shows that lifestyle habits are closely related to cardiovascular mortality in menopausal women. For research titled "Life habits and cardiovascular mortality in menopausal women: population-based cohort study," investigators used data from the 2011 Spanish National Health Survey. Women over 50 years of age were included, and the characteristics that best defined their life habits were collected, as well as their health status and self-reported medical history, such as chronic diseases at the time of the survey. The mortality of the women in the study was followed from 2011 to 2017. During that time, 4% of the women died of cardiovascular causes. Another of the study's purposes was to build an easy-to-apply risk scale with the data.

@rajit The screening criteria were women over 50 years of age, because from this age, we can speak of postmenopause, since most have already reached menopause. There are other women who have had surgical menopause or for other reasons that are not reflected in the study
