Overview
The prevalence of menopause is estimated to be about 50 million cases annually. Menopause naturally occurs in women between 49 to 52 of age the average. The fatality cases were 345 cases per 3191 women aged between 50-86 years in the United States. There is no racial predilection to Menopause, but African American women had experienced the largest number of menopausal symptoms compared with other ethnic groups.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence and Incidence
- The prevalence of menopause is estimated to be about 50 million cases worldwide will go into menopause annually.[1]
- In 1990 there were 467 million postmenopausal women in the world, by 2030, menopausal women are projected to increase to 1.2 billion worldwide.[2]
- The prevalence of menopausal symptoms differ in women according to areas and countries that they live them, the menopausal symptoms ranges from 74% of women in Europe, 36-50% in North America, 45-69% in Latin America and 22-63% in Asia.[3]
- The prevalence of menopausal symptoms among women prescribed hormone therapy (HT), the mean age of patients was 54 years. The most common menopausal symptoms were: hot flushes (40 %), night sweats (17 %), insomnia (16 %), vaginal dryness (13 %), mood disorders (12 %), and weight gain (12 %).

Mortality rate
- In 1997, the fatality cases were 345 cases per 3191 women aged between 50-86 years in the United States over a mean follow-up time of 4.0 years.
- The mortality rate ratio (MRR) was 1.50% for women with menopause at age < 40, and the MRR of women with menopause at age 40-44 was 1.04%. While the MRR for women with menopause at age 45-49 was 0.96%.[5]
Race
