Age refers to the age at each assessment. Menopause stage is a 5-level ordinal variable with 1 referring to premenopause to 5 referring to postmenopause; for race, the reference group is Caucasian; for education, the reference group is those with a high school diploma; for BMI, the reference group is a BMI less than 30 kg/m².
