These differences were all statistically significant, except for heavy menstruation at age &amp;lt;20 years. No differences were observed after age 30 years. Women with type 1 diabetes experienced later menarche, earlier natural menopause, fewer pregnancies, and more stillbirths than women without diabetes. Multiple regression analyses revealed that type 1 diabetes caused an approximate twofold increased risk of any menstrual problem before age 30 years. These were primarily related to long cycles and long menstruation in women aged &amp;lt;20 and 20\u201329 years, as well as with heavy menstruation from 20 to 29 years. Oral contraceptives were protective for any menstrual problem and heavy menstruation from 30 to 39 years of age. With history of pregnancy from 20 to 40 years of age, any menstrual problem and long menstruation were more likely.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS\u2014The results suggest that type 1 diabetes is an independent risk factor for menstrual disturbances in young adults. Future studies may determine whether addressing menstrual disturbances improves quality of life and health for these women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2337\/diacare.26.4.1016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,3,5]],"date-time":"2007-03-05T22:51:27Z","timestamp":1173135087000},"page":"1016-1021","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2337\/ada-journal-policies","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":115,"title":["Menstrual Cycle Differences Between Women With Type 1 Diabetes and Women Without Diabetes"],"prefix":"10.2337","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Elsa S.","family":"Strotmeyer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann R.","family":"Steenkiste","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr","given":"Thomas P.","family":"Foley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah L.","family":"Berga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences and Psychiatry, Magee-Womens Hospital and Research Institute, School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janice S.","family":"Dorman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1167","reference":[{"key":"2022031216124160500_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bergqvist N: The gonadal function in female diabetics.
