In recent decades, there has been a clear trend towards an increase in the life expectancy of the population. In the 1990s it reached 78.9 years for women. The global population of postmenopausal women today is 10%. According to WHO projections 46% of women are expected to be over 45 years old by 2015. The age of menopause remains fairly stable and in different regions of Russia is 49-50 years. Consequently, a woman spends more than a third of her life in a state of deficiency of female sex hormones.
