The aim of this study was to examine the association between AAM and all-cause mortality. Subjects and methods: A total of 12,409 women aged 25–94 years who took part in the fourth Tromsø Study in Norway during 1994–1995 were included in this prospective population-based study with a mean 18.7 years of follow-up. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to investigate the association between AAM and all-cause mortality with adjustment for known confounders (age, body mass index, physical activity, level of education and smoking history). Results: During the 18.7 years of follow-up, a total of 2,203 women died. There was no association between AAM and all-cause mortality before or after adjusting for possible confounding factors. Conclusion: This prospective study of 12,409 women did not find any association between AAM and all-cause mortality Keywords: menarche, mortality, population-based, prospective, puberty Article in Journal/Newspaper Tromsø Arctic University of Norway UiT The Arctic University of Norway Dove Medical Press Arctic Norway Tromsø International Journal of Women's Health Volume 10 203 209 |
