Abstract
⺠Only total and LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B changed within one year of the last menstrual period. ⺠Increasing importance of testosterone instead of estrogen to explain harmful effect of oophorectomy on cardiovascular risk. ⺠In adjusted analyses incident AF did not differ between early menopausal (<45 years) versus late menopausal (>53 years) age. ⺠Methodologically challenging but critical to separate out the influences of chronologic aging and menopause.
