Study indicates longer reproductive life span experienced by US women

(Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center) Previous research has shown a link between the duration of a woman's reproductive life span and her overall metabolic health. By analyzing data from successive surveys spanning the 1959-1962 National Health Examination Survey I through the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 2017-2018, TTUHSC's Duke Appiah, Ph.D., and a group of collaborators investigated factors that may be driving that link for U.S. women, including an increase in age at natural menopause.
