Women with menarche later and late menopause are more likely to reach 90 years, achieved as at an earlier age of reproduction, their milestones, a new study suggests.
"People have always wondered if the weather reproductive events affect longevity, but no study has been evaluated the relationship," said the lead author Aladdin Shadyab, University of California, School of Medicine, San Diego.
The research team used data collected from 16.251 participants in the Women's Health Initiative 1993-1998 and by August, 2014.
are all women who were born before September 8892 1924, or 55%, survived 90 years.
Women who were at least 12 years at menarche about 9% more likely to reach 90 years as those who were younger, had.
And women who were 50 years old when her period 20% were arrested more likely to achieve the 90 years that women who entered menopause before the age of 40 that was true, whether natural or surgical menopause.

A reproductive life is now also linked to longevity. Women who were menstruating for more than 40 years 13% more likely to reach 90 years than those who had less than 33 years reproduction, in a paper reports authors July 27 in the journal Menopause published.
Shadyab and his colleagues not that the subsequent periods and say after menopause is associated with a longer life, but the link can be related to lifestyle factors and genetics in relationship.
"It is possible that those who start later and those who are experiencing menstruating menopause at a later age in better long-term health," Shadyab Reuters Health.
It could also genes that influence the onset of menopause and periods and the duration of a woman's life, he added.
"Further studies are needed to determine the factors that predict the reproductive life of 90 years for women," he said.
Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, who is the general manager of the North American Menopause Society, acknowledges that lifestyle factors and genetics probably behind the relationship between the later stages of reproduction and longevity.
Pinkerton, who was not involved in the study, said the research suggests that hormones may protect the heart women, are lost during the menopause.
In addition, certain behaviors such as smoking, have an impact on health in general and about the time of menopause, she said.
