Smoking and menopause
A retrospective study on 293 women who attended the Physiopathology of Human Reproduction menopausal out-patient clinic at Bari University Hospital throughout 1995, has been carried out to evaluate correlations between smoking and climacteric syndrome. From the data we have discovered an earlier onset of menopause in the smokers. Fewer smokers were married and they worked more, drank more, and were more educated. The incidence of climacteric syndrome did not differ between smokers and non-smokers.
