FFP 632 | Can Your Period Predict Heart Disease?
About this episode
Lisa reviews a landmark study examining the link between menstrual cycle characteristics and heart disease risk in women.
In this episode, Lisa reviews a landmark 2023 study that followed over 700,000 women across 26 years to examine the association between menstrual cycle characteristics and cardiometabolic outcomes. Lisa highlights how different types of menstrual cycle irregularity appear to be associated with distinct cardiometabolic risk factors, reinforcing the case for treating the menstrual cycle as a vital sign rather than an exclusively reproductive concern. This episode offers meaningful context for women's health practitioners who want to better understand how cycle patterns may reflect broader systemic health.
