Description
Tola Bakare and co-authors measure womb lining thickness in older Nigerian women in this 2024 study. After menopause, a thicker womb lining can signal disease, including cancer. Knowing what drives thickness in women without symptoms may help early detection.
Women at a hospital clinic were grouped by high blood pressure, diabetes, or no chronic illness. All had body measures, a fasting blood sugar test, and an internal ultrasound scan. Average thickness was about 2.2 units, and only 1.1 percent exceeded the 5-unit mark. Thickness was higher in women fewer than five years past menopause and in those with high blood pressure or diabetes. More past births linked to thinner lining.
