We used IR data files from 53 DHSs conducted across 12 South and Southeast Asian countries from 1986 to 2022 and analyzed the data in RStudio. One of our objectives is to explore the prevalence trends of premature (occurring before age 40) and early menopause (occurring between age 40 and 44) in these countries. We understand our estimates would not match those, if any, in the DHS reports as we modified the DHS definition of menopause extending the no-menstruation period from six to twelve months which aligns with the clinical definition of menopause. This necessitates appropriately dealing with "Before last birth" categories in V226s. We look forward to hearing from you!
