Oestrogen and age estimations of perimenopausal women

L Wildt et al. Lancet. .

Abstract

We estimated the age of perimenopausal women at a first visit and measured the concentrations of oestradiol in serum. The accuracy of estimation of age strongly correlated with oestradiol concentrations: age was overestimated when oestradiol was low and underestimated when oestradiol was high.
