AFP, PARISWomen approaching menopause who have frequent sex are less likely to cross that threshold than women of the same age who are not as active sexually, researchers said yesterday. The average age of the women going into the study was 46. During the following decade, 45 percent of the women experienced a natural menopause, at an average age of 52. The correlation between frequency of sex and onset of menopause was unmistakable, the researchers found. There is considerable variation in the age of natural menopause across cultures, but genetic factors only account for about half of those differences, earlier research had shown.
