Menopause is marked by a body-wide physiological 'cliff,' study suggests

The final menstrual period is preceded by abrupt "cliff-like" biological changes across multiple body systems, some of which show early signs more than a decade beforehand, according to research published in Nature Medicine. The findings suggest that menopause-related physiological changes may occur over a shorter time frame than previously thought and advance our understanding of how early these changes can be detected.
