Part 3/13:
Research indicates that Indian women tend to reach menopause earlier than their counterparts in developed countries, typically between ages 46 and 47, compared to 51 in the United States. Factors such as poor nutrition, socioeconomic status, and limited access to healthcare contribute to this early onset. Additionally, cultural attitudes rooted in patriarchy mean women's health issues, including menopause, are seldom openly discussed, leading to a lack of awareness and support.
