Although there is no set or fixed age at which all women reach menopause, it most commonly occurs between the ages of approximately 45 and 55.

When menopause occurs before the age of 45, it is considered early menopause. Conversely, if menopause occurs after the age of 55, it is considered late menopause.

In short, the average age of menopause onset is estimated to be around 51.
