  1. Spearman correlation coefficients were used to evaluate the correlations of FSH with reproductive hormones and cortisol for each group
  2. Group A: mid reproductive stage, Group B: late reproductive stage, Group C: early menopausal transition, Group D: late menopausal transition, Group E: very early post menopause, Group F: early postmenopause
  3. DHEAS: dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, T: testosterone, LH: luteinizing hormone
