Menstrual cycle length and modern living: a review.

Purpose Of Review: The aim of this review is to evaluate biological, life history, environmental, and lifestyle factors and exposures that cause variability in menstrual cycle length (MCL).

Summary: MCL varies widely in response to intrinsic and extrinsic inputs and is a useful predictor of reproductive health and fecundability.
