Longevity for women: hormones, bones and heart

Most longevity content is written for men. But women's physiology follows different curves, and menopause changes the rules for the heart, bones and metabolism.

In brief
  • Women's risk profile shifts markedly around menopause.
  • Bone health and cardiovascular risk deserve early attention.
  • Falling oestrogen affects metabolism, sleep and cognition.
  • A baseline before and through menopause is valuable.

Why women are different

Oestrogen protects the heart and bones, among other things. When the level falls around menopause, the risk picture changes, and body composition and metabolism are affected.

What's worth measuring

  • Hormone profile
  • Bone-relevant markers
  • Cardiovascular profile (ApoB, Lp(a))
  • Inflammation and blood sugar

Why data beats guesswork

Menopausal symptoms are easy to misread. A thorough measurement separates "normal" from "worth acting on" and gives a foundation to track over time.

Frequently asked questions

Is Aevia relevant before menopause?

Yes. An early baseline makes it possible to see changes as they happen, rather than discovering them in hindsight.

Are the results interpreted by sex?

Yes, reference values and advice take sex and life stage into account.
