How are Menopause Check and longevity related?

The Menopause Check from MyBody-X measures hormones like FSH, estradiol, and AMH, which indicate the transition into menopause. The timing of menopause is moderately linked to longevity: later menopause (after 55) is associated with longer lifespan but also higher breast cancer risk; early menopause (before 45) is linked to increased cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis, potentially shortening lifespan. However, these effects are multifactorial – genetics, lifestyle, and environment play larger roles. The test itself does not directly measure longevity but provides a hormonal snapshot that can inform personalized health strategies. Evidence is based on epidemiological studies (moderate), not RCTs. Be cautious of overblown claims: a hormone panel alone does not predict actual lifespan. Medical follow-up for abnormal results is recommended.
