Delaying menopause could be a start towards more general anti-aging, but there might also be some more specific approaches to take, based on ovarian biology.

David Pepin's lab has been doing some rather interesting research on AMH, which prevents primordial follicle activation and seems to protect the ovarian reserve. The startup Gameto is also interested in this general concept.
