Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis reviews multiple studies to determine if menopause, especially early menopause and surgical removal of ovaries, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in women, finding a modest link particularly for early menopause.
  • Postmenopausal women generally have a slightly higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to premenopausal women, but the association weakens when factors like age and smoking are considered.
  • Women who undergo bilateral oophorectomy (removal of both ovaries) show a stronger connection to increased cardiovascular risk, especially if menopause is artificially induced before age 50.]
