Abstract
Most women live long enough to become postmenopausal. Menopause is not a disease, but it can be associated with discomfort, a decreased quality of life, and an increase in the disease risks of osteoporosis and coronary heart disease. The onset of menopause is an excellent time for a women's primary care physician to assess her overall health and the need for health maintenance measures, which may include hormone replacement therapy.
