Researchers from the University of Leeds in the U.K. evaluated women who were between the ages 45 and 60. The researchers looked at their onset of natural menopause. The study participants completed food frequency questionnaires as well, so that the researchers could evaluate associations with diet.

Based on the results, a diet composed of foods rich in carbohydrates, such as pasta and rice, was associated with earlier menopause. On the other hand, a diet rich in legumes and oily fish slowed down the onset of menopause. Overall, eating more carbohydrate-rich foods was associated with women reaching menopause 0.2 years earlier among women 50 years old and younger. The average age of menopause onset in the U.K. and the U.S. is 51.
