Abstract

Evidence from cross-sectional studies mainly among postmenopausal women suggests that biological aging is associated with reproductive senescence. We evaluated the prospective association of cellular markers of biological aging measured during the premenopausal period, and changes in these markers, with age at menopause.

Research summary

The paper investigates the association between cellular markers of biological aging and menopause, which is relevant to understanding biological aging processes. However, the focus on menopause and its association with aging markers does not directly address root causes of aging or lifespan extension. The findings may contribute to the field but are more incremental than groundbreaking, thus the impact score reflects a solid but limited contribution.
