Abstract

Menopause is a physiologic event that gives a woman the opportunity to become involved in a preventive health program. Menopause is not a disease; however, it does cause symptoms in a significant percentage of women. Medical evaluation with an emphasis on health maintenance and lifestyle measures is important for menopausal women. Tailoring an individual program for women, which may include HRT and other therapeutic options, is guided by the menopausal risk assessment.
