PRETTY MOODY x IPQ ANALYTICS - WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Pretty Moody Foundation (Delaware), in collaboration with IPQ Analytics, LLC (Pennsylvania), is launching a menopause study to help better understand & define how women progress through peri-menopause &
menopause to provide critical insights to support the smooth, natural transition. In the United States, approximately 50% of all women are age 40 or older, with the average
start of peri-menopause at 40 and menopause at 50 years of age.  By the
year 2025, it is said that approximately 1.1 billion women would have entered into menopause.  Thus, while a woman lives approximately half of her life in menopause after its’ start, the transition is poorly understood by clinicians and women themselves, especially as each woman’s menopause journey is different. It is noted that only 31.3% of OBGYN residency programs have a menopause curriculum as part of their residency training program, leaving women, healthcare providers, and researchers without the educational resources they need. Although hot flashes are among the most visible and recognizable symptoms of menopause, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, mental health disorders, and disordered sleep are other common and debilitating symptoms. These treatable conditions affect daily functioning and costs $1.8 billion dollars annually in
lost work productivity. Given the significance and scope, it is past time to advance policies that improve menopause research and awareness.
