Menopause at 30 for Millions in Poverty
Jan 23, 2007

Millions of women in India are going through menopause as young as 30 because of chronic malnutrition and poverty, according to a study by a prominent Indian think-tank.
The research suggests that almost one in five women in the country have gone through menopause by the age of 41.
Malnutrition is believed to be a contributory factor, particularly in rural areas, although the study did not address the causes. Yesterday doctors called for further research into the condition.
