“Exact figures on the number of post-menopausal women and the number reaching menopause every year are difficult to obtain”.1
Umbrella
What may the Postmenopause Statistics Umbrella include?
Depending on the Source (DotS) this Umbrella may include:
- After Menopause Statistics
- Postmenopause Statistics
Date and Age
What may it be important to be clear about with postmenopause statistics?
I think it is important to be clear about the date of all information including the year of postmenopause statistics because this information may have been updated.
I also think it is important to be clear about the age of women in postmenopause statistics because this may be different e.g. Age Younger than 51 or 51, 52, or 55 years or older than 64 years.
