Smokers' Women risk of premature menopause, at least one year earlier than female nonsmokers. Women smokers in the general menopause age range 43-50 years. While non-smokers tend to menopausal women in the 46-51 year age range.
The conclusion obtained from analysis of a number of previous studies involving tens of thousands of women, including the results of a survey of 6,000 women in the United States, Poland, and Turkey.
The study, published in the journal Menopause did not stop the threat of premature menopause. Therefore, early menopause associated with high risk of developing health problems like osteoporosis and heart problems.
Jennie Kline of the Mailman School of Public Health Colombia University, New York, said that smoking is likely to affect a woman's body in controlling the production of estrogen. Cigarettes also contain toxins that can damage the eggs in the ovaries. "This may be the influence of menopause," he said.

Menopause Prediction
The research team from St Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh developed a hormone test that can help women predict the timing of menopause. Tests done by looking at chemistry changes as women of reproductive age. This chemical change would be an indicator to show the number of remaining eggs in the ovaries.
With these tests, women can compare hormone levels with an average hormone levels of women her age. Not only can predict the timing of menopause, this test can detect a tendency of early menopause. Thus, women are more easy to calculate the best time to have children.
