Figure 1

Brachial artery EDV declines across the stages of the menopause transition. The effect of menopause stage was independent of aging and CVD risk factors. ^∗𝑃<0.001 and ^§𝑃=0.03 versus premenopausal women; ^†𝑃<0.001 versus early perimenopausal; ^‡𝑃<0.001 versus late perimenopausal. Peri = perimenopausal; post = postmenopausal. From Moreau et al. [3].
