This study identifies key clinical and laboratory markers differentiating advanced fertile age from premenopause. Findings highlight hormonal shifts and increased health risks during the menopausal transition.

Area of Science:

Reproductive Endocrinology
Menopause Studies
Gerontology

Background:

The menopausal transition involves complex physiological changes.
Distinguishing between advanced fertile age and premenopause is crucial for timely interventions.
Understanding premenopause-related health alterations is essential for women's health.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish criteria for differentiating advanced fertile age from premenopause.
To identify clinical and laboratory changes associated with premenopause.

Main Methods:

Retrospective evaluation of 1,773 climacteric outpatients.
Analysis of clinical symptoms and laboratory parameters.

Main Results:

Premenopause shows increased gonadotropins, decreased estrogens, and more hot flashes, indicating ovarian decline.

Premenopause is linked to decreased thyroid function, higher BMI, bone loss, elevated glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides.

Increased prevalence of hypertension and urinary stress incontinence observed in premenopause.

Conclusions:

Distinct clinical and laboratory profiles differentiate advanced fertile age from premenopause.
Premenopause is associated with significant physiological shifts and increased health risks.
These findings aid in better understanding and managing the menopausal transition.
