Mean AGE of interviewed women was 48.48 (SE=0.18) years. In this study, 2462 women among 7711 interviewed women had NATURAL MENOPAUSE at interview time. The mean AGE of menopause onset was 47.71 (SE=0.11) years. There was statistically significant correlation between the AGE of menopause and the number of parities (r=0.08, P=0.001), REGULARITY OF MENSTRUAL CYCLE (P=0.0001) and AGE of their mother at menopause (r =0.32, P=0.0001).Conclusion: This study showed that the mean AGE of menopause onset was 47.71 (SE=0.11) years and regularity in menstrual cycle, mother’s AGE at menopause and multiparity in Iranian women living the Tehran had significant correlation with AGE at menopause.
