Science and Health: Everything We Know About Achieving Well-Being in Postmenopause

More than one billion women worldwide are going through menopause or postmenopause, a life stage that accounts for more than a third of their lives. Yet this vital period remains largely unknown, insufficiently studied, and marked by a serious lack of rigorous, accessible information for society, as well as by its limited presence in public debate.

Postmenopause, above all, is a stage that—free from rules and from the demands of raising children—could be lived to the fullest, but is often overshadowed by the less visible consequences of hormonal changes. Added to this is the constant pressure of a consumer industry ready to offer miraculous solutions.

 In Postmenopause, researcher Adela Muñoz Páez draws on extensive and up-to-date documentation of the scientific evidence surrounding this stage of life to provide clear answers and to reclaim the place and the voice of those who also wish to live this third of their lives as a truly wonderful age.
