, <\/strong>Steve Horvath, a professor of human genetics at the David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles analysed DNA samples taken from more than 3100 women in a 15-year study of post-menopausal women.<\/p>\n“For decades scientists have disagreed over whether menopause causes ageing or ageing causes menopause,” said Horvath.<\/p>\n
“Our study is the first to demonstrate that menopause makes you age faster.”<\/p>\n
Measuring the biological age of cells from blood, saliva and inside the cheek, Horvath and his team were able to pin down the relationship between chronological age and a woman’s biological age.<\/p>\n
“Menopause speeds up cellular ageing by an average of 6%,” said Horvath.<\/p>\n
Woman who entered menopause at 42 would on average be biologically a year older eight years later than women who began menopause at 50.<\/p>\n
