This research was conducted in December 2023. This research is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross sectional approach, the sample size in this study was 93 respondents. Based on the frequency distribution, respondents who experienced menopause within 2 years were the respondents with the largest percentage, namely 29%. The frequency distribution of respondents based on estrogen levels ≥130 pg/mL was 42 respondents or 45.2%, while estrogen levels ≤ 130 pg/mL were 51 people or 54.8%. Meanwhile, based on the Pearson test, the Sig (tailed) value or p value was 0.509, which means the relationship between estrogen levels and length of menopause is said to be not significant.
