Menopausal Timing Risk Stratification

Meaning

This is a clinical process involving the assessment of an individual’s unique biological and lifestyle factors to predict the probable timing of their menopausal transition and to evaluate the associated lifetime health risks. This stratification moves beyond chronological age to incorporate genetic markers, ovarian reserve indicators, and environmental exposures to generate a personalized risk profile. Early identification of an increased risk for premature or early menopause allows for proactive clinical intervention and personalized preventative health planning. This tool is invaluable for optimizing long-term bone, cardiovascular, and cognitive health.
