Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Evidence shows that women from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds enter menopause 1-2 years earlier than their more affluent counterparts. To date, no study has examined whether the socioeconomic conditions of a woman's environment may accelerate the reproductive aging process underlying her entry into menopause. Here, we assessed community socioeconomic status (SES) and neighborhood quality in relation to ovarian aging (indexed by antral follicle count [AFC]) in a sample of reproductive-age women with regular menses.
