Whilst the average age of menopause for women in the UK is around 51, symptoms can start several years ahead of this. Menopause is far more than an end to periods and fertility and is a crucial time for women to be considering wider areas of their health, including protecting the heart, circulation and bone strength, reducing cancer risk and promoting mental well-being. We would encourage any woman who suspects she may be reaching the menopause to be thinking about how to protect herself in these areas.
