In women, the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is higher in the postmenopausal period. The effect that menopausal type, natural versus surgical, or the age at natural menopause has on CVD needs further investigation. To this end, we assessed the association between menopausal type and timing and the 10-year office-based Framingham Risk Score (FRS) in women from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
