Dr. Sitruk-Ware explains what menopause starting later in life might indicate.

Dr. Sitruk-Ware:
It certainly indicates the change in nutrition, and that women have got better nutrition during the current century as compared with the previous ones. The several external factor influence the ovulation and the release of the follicles like the light, the temperature and of course a certain weight, and therefore, a certain ideal nutritional basis and body composition. The age of puberty has come at a lower age now and the age of menopause has increased, essentially because of nutritional improvements.
