Menopauze Leeftijd Calculator
The menopause age calculator provides an estimate of when you might experience natural menopause based on key risk and protective factors. The average age of menopause in the US is 51.
Natural menopause is defined as 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, not caused by surgery, chemotherapy, or other medical causes. The perimenopause transition typically begins 4–8 years before menopause.
This is an estimate only — menopause timing is influenced by many factors and can only be confirmed after the fact. Consult your doctor for personalized assessment.
Factors That Influence Menopause Timing
Genetics is the strongest predictor — when your mother and sisters experienced menopause is your best guide. If your mother had early menopause, you're more likely to as well.
Smoking is associated with earlier menopause by 1–2 years. Being underweight or having a history of eating disorders can also lead to earlier menopause. Conversely, higher BMI is associated with slightly later menopause.
Perimenopause vs Menopause
Perimenopause (the transition phase) typically starts in the mid-40s and lasts 4–8 years. Symptoms include irregular periods, hot flashes, sleep disruption, and mood changes.
Menopause is the point 12 months after your last period. Postmenopause is the rest of your life after that. Most menopausal symptoms improve within 2–5 years of the final period.
