Little is known about the effect of cessation of menstruation on lung function. The aims of the study were to examine the association of lung function with natural and surgical cessation of menstruation, and assess whether lower lung function is associated with earlier age at cessation of menstruation. The study was performed in 141 076 women from the UK Biobank, who had provided acceptable and reproducible spirometry measurements and information on menstrual status. The associations of lung…

The findings generally support an association between menopause and clinically significant reductions in lung function in a non-obstructive pattern, however, the effects of menophere are clouded by aging, menopausal hormone therapy use, and increased risk of metabolic syndrome during this period.

It seems plausible that effective quit-smoking programs, particularly after menopause, may lead to better lung function and reduced morbidity and mortality in women.

The findings suggest that reproductive factors may influence women's pulmonary health and postmenopausal status is independently associated with increased odds of chronic cough plus phlegm, whereas it does not appear to be independent associated with FEV(1) or FVC.

The results provide indirect evidence for the hypothesis that cellular senescence may contribute to the pathogenesis of COPD and asthma, and that lung function may reflect biological ageing primarily due to intrinsic processes, which are likely to be aggravated in lung diseases.

It is concluded that postmenopausal women who use HRT have higher levels of FEV1 and less obstruction, which could not be explained by their lower rates of smoking and other health factors associated with HRT use.

Short telomere length is associated with decreased lung function and with increased risk of COPD, but the associations are markedly attenuated after adjustment, and a modest correlation between telomeres length and the lung function indices examined is found.
