Women with high parity, early menarche and previous regular menstrual cycle had late menopause as compared to late menarche, low parity and previous irregular menstrual cycle. The study showed that 40% of menopausal women were aware about the menopausal symptoms but only 5% of women were using hormone replacement therapy.
