Menopause is defined by the World Health Organization as the stage in which the menstrual cycle ceases for more than 12 consecutive months, accompanied by a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels (WHO, 1996). While menopause is a universal biological process, its experience varies among women, encompassing differences in the age of onset and the presentation of associated signs and symptoms. This study aims to investigate factors influencing the age at menopause, as well as the symptoms observed during the pre- and post-menopausal periods. The literature review drew upon journals and peer-reviewed articles from databases such as PubMed, MEDLINE, JSTOR, Embase, and Google Scholar, spanning until 2022. Boolean combinations of terms like 'menopausal health,' 'psychological effects of menopause,' 'determinants of age at menopause,' and 'ethnicity and menopausal age' were utilized in the search.
The review seeks a comprehensive understanding of diverse variables associated with menopausal health, including age variations, the impact of dietary and lifestyle choices in rural and urban settings, and ethnic disparities. Notably, there is a gap in the literature regarding menopause among indigenous populations, who maintain homogeneity through endogamy and adherence to traditional beliefs. Consequently, the forthcoming scope of this review involves an assessment of menopause within the Bhil tribe, the largest indigenous group in Maharashtra.
