Ethnic specific variation in hormone levels associated with the menopause transition by race/ethnicity. Values shown as the mean of women in each ethnic cohort for the year prior to perimenopause onset (considered “premenopause”) and the year of menopause onset. Blood values for (a) DHAS. ANOVA indicated a significant difference in premenopausal and menopausal DHAS levels across ethnicities (P = 3.7E-7 and P = 9.3E-4, respectively). b FSH. ANOVA indicated a significant difference in menopausal FSH levels across ethnicities (P = 0.0099), while premenopausal FSH levels did not differ significantly (P = 0.52). c SHBG. ANOVA indicated a significant difference in premenopausal SHBG levels across ethnicities (P = 0.03), while menopausal SHBG levels did not differ significantly (P = 0.09). d T. ANOVA indicated a significant difference in menopausal T levels across ethnicities (P = 0.09), while premenopausal T levels did not differ significantly (P = 0.51). e E2.ANOVA determined no significant difference in E2 values was found between ethnicities in both premenopausal and menopausal women (P = 0.4, 0.25 respectively)
