Menopause is a period of cessation of the menstrual cycle forever for women who previously experienced menstruation every month, which is caused by the number of follicles that experience atresia continues to increase, until there are no more follicles available, and in the last 12 months experience amenorrhea (Fitri, 2017). The factors that influence the occurrence of menopause among women were the age at first menstruation (menarche), number of children, age at delivery, use of contraception, smoking and socioeconomic status (Kumlasari, 2012).
