The average age of menopause in the United States is about 51. About one out of twenty women have late menopause (after age 55) while another 5% stop having periods between the ages of 40 and 45 (early menopause). The age of menopause is reduced by two years in women who smoke.
Most women still have periods after 40. When they do lose their period, it's called menopause. Women lose their periods because they are past the age where it is safe for theiâ¦r bodies to have children and periods prepare a woman's body to have a child.
