Description
Alberto Esteban-Medina and colleagues examine high cholesterol diagnoses around menopause in Andalusia, Spain, in a 2026 cohort study. Health records from 2016 to 2022 covered the whole regional public system. The study compared men and women before and after age fifty. Age fifty served as a proxy for the menopausal transition.
More than half a million patients with high cholesterol were included. Women were diagnosed about three years later than men on average. Diagnoses in women rose sharply between ages fifty and fifty-five. Older women also carried more osteoporosis, anxiety, and hypertension than men. The authors support prevention tailored by sex and age.
