## Abstract ## Objective: The aim of this study was to examine if the previously found trend of increasing menopausal age is continuing, taking into consideration hormonal use and surgical menopause in both 38- and 50-year-old women of today. ## Methods: Cohort comparisons of five generations of population-based samples of 38- and 50-year-old women from the Prospective Population Study of Women in Gothenburg with start in 1968/1969, and with follow-ups in 1980/1981, 1992/1993, 2004/2005, and 2016/2017. Across the time periods newly recruited women as well as earlier participants were included. Use of hormonal contraceptives, estrogen plus progestogen therapy (EPT), and time for menopause was registered. Changes between different generations of 38- and 50-year-old women from 1968/1969 until today were studied. The overall sample size across the time periods was 1,873 individuals. ## Results: The prevalence of oral contraceptives in 38-year-old women was about 10% in 1968/1969, increasing from 16% in 2004/2005 to almost 22% in 2016/2017.
