abstract = {Background Observational studies have shown that women with
an early menopause are at higher risk of stroke compared
with women with a later menopause. However, associations
with stroke subtypes are inconsistent, and the causality is
unclear. Methods and Results We analyzed data of the UK
Biobank and EPIC-CVD (European Prospective Investigation
Into Cancer and Nutrition-Cardiovascular Diseases) study. A
total of 204 244 postmenopausal women without a history of
stroke at baseline were included (7883 from EPIC-CVD [5292
from the subcohort], 196 361 from the UK Biobank). Pooled
mean baseline age was 58.9 years (SD, 5.8), and pooled mean
age at menopause was 47.8 years (SD, 6.2). Over a median
follow-up of 12.6 years (interquartile range, 11.8-13.3),
6770 women experienced a stroke (5155 ischemic strokes, 1615
hemorrhagic strokes, 976 intracerebral hemorrhages, and 639
subarachnoid hemorrhages). In multivariable adjusted
observational Cox regression analyses, the pooled hazard
ratios per 5 years younger age at menopause were 1.09
$(95\%$ CI, 1.07-1.12) for stroke, 1.09 $(95\%$ CI,
1.06-1.13) for ischemic stroke, 1.10 $(95\%$ CI, 1.04-1.16)
for hemorrhagic stroke, 1.14 $(95\%$ CI, 1.08-1.20) for
intracerebral hemorrhage, and 1.00 $(95\%$ CI, 0.84-1.20)
for subarachnoid hemorrhage. When using 2-sample Mendelian
randomization analysis, we found no statistically
significant association between genetically proxied age at
menopause and risk of any type of stroke. Conclusions In our
study, earlier age at menopause was related to a higher risk
of stroke. We found no statistically significant association
between genetically proxied age at menopause and risk of
stroke, suggesting no causal relationship.},
