MENOPAUSE STUDY

In collaboration with Pretty Moody, IPQ Analytics is launching a questionnaire to help better understand perimenopause and menopause, natural life transitions that remain poorly understood. While approximately 50% of all U.S. women are age 40 or older—an age range when perimenopause begins—there is still limited knowledge about how women experience this transition. Menopause is defined as going 12 months without a menstrual cycle, while perimenopause is the 7-10 life progression that leads to menopause.  With menopause occurring at an average age of 51, these hormonal shifts can impact nearly half of a woman’s life. However, individual experiences vary widely, and many women face uncertainty about what to expect.

By example, most women experience hot flashes during this transition, but not all hot flashes are created equal and may respond differently to specific treatments.  We hope to better understand these differences and provide improved information and guidance to address your individual experience.

 This questionnaire aims to gather firsthand insights into the diverse experiences of perimenopause and menopause. Through sharing your journey, which will remain anonymous, you will contribute to a deeper understanding of this critical life stage, helping to inform future research and improve support for women navigating these changes. The results of this study will be freely shared with a goal of improving women’s life journey. Feel free to share the link to this study with your friends and relatives.  If you have any questions please reach out to Sherell Flagg (Sherell@prettymoody.com) or.

PRETTY MOODY x IPQ ANALYTICS

Pretty Moody Foundation (Delaware), in collaboration with
IPQ Analytics, LLC (Pennsylvania), is launching a study to help 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, health
care 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.
