Prevalence of premature ovarian insufficiency and its determinants in Iranian populations: Tehran lipid and glucose study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) considered as a concerning health issue for women of reproductive age. In this study we aim to estimate the prevalence of POI and assessing the influential factors.

Methods

Data was obtained from Tehran lipid and glucose study (TLGS). All eligible post-menarcheal female participants of the TLGS, ages 20-65, were recruited (n = 6521). Participants were followed for the event of menopause, and age at menopause was recorded. Kaplan Meier analysis was applied to estimate mean and median for age at menopause. Weibull accelerated failure time survival regression model (AFT), was applied to assess influential determinants of POI. Conditional probability approach was used to provide estimation for prevalence of POI.
