Normal range. In the Western world, the most typical age range for menopause (last period from natural causes) is between 40 and 61[18] and the average age for last period is 51 years.[19] The average age of natural menopause in Australia is 51.7 years.[20] In India and the Philippines, the median age of natural menopause is considerably earlier, at 44 years.[21]
