Perimenopausal women scored 69.1 on cardiovascular health metrics versus 73.3 for premenopausal women, with 76% higher risk of dangerous cholesterol levels. Estrogen fluctuations during perimenopause alter cholesterol, increase insulin resistance, raise blood pressure, and complicate weight management, weakening heart health.

Women aged 40-55 face increased healthcare costs for cardiovascular screening, monitoring, and potential treatments. Higher insurance premiums likely for this demographic. Increased demand for preventive health services and wellness programs. Potential productivity losses from untreated symptoms affecting work performance.
Governments may expand cardiovascular screening coverage for perimenopausal women. Healthcare systems should integrate perimenopause assessment into routine women's health protocols. Insurance policies may need adjustment for this high-risk demographic. Public health campaigns needed to increase awareness. Potential for workplace health program mandates targeting midlife women.
