Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The timing of menarche and menopause significantly affects women's health, with influences on cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and psychosocial problems. In addition, observational studies have reported that ages at menarche (AAM) and natural menopause (ANM) are correlated with obesity. To understand the genetic bases of these reproductive traits, we conducted a genome-wide...
