AB  - OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of menopause 
      in three rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS), determine correlates 
      of menopause, and estimate the age of start of menopause in Indian women. 
      METHODS: Three rounds of NFHS data collected during 1992-93, 1998-99, and 2005-06 
      were analyzed. The NFHS was carried out using a uniform sample design all over 
      the country. Age adjusted complex sample analyses, multivariate logistic 
      regression, and probit analysis were carried out. RESULTS: The prevalence of 
      menopause (natural and surgical) remained similar from 1992-93 to 2005-06 among 
      Indian women. A higher prevalence and earlier onset of menopause was associated 
      with farming, no education, belonging to a scheduled caste or scheduled tribe, 
      underweight, higher parity, and motherhood before 16 years of age. The age of the 
      start of menopause did not increase much from the first to third round of NFHS. 
      CONCLUSIONS: Women of poor socio-economic status have an earlier age at menopause 
      and may be unable to utilize their full reproductive potential.
