Summary An analysis of reported menstrual cycles of 1615 women doctors has shown that the duration of menstrual bleeding was not associated with increasing age but the total length of cycle decreased. Hence that part of cycle free from menstruation decreased with increasing age. There was no apparent association between gravidity and total cycle length.
