- 요약The menopause transition is a key aging process for women that occurs during midlife and is a time in which menstruation ceases permanently and hormonal and physiological changes emerge signifying the end of women's reproductive years. Menopause is a universal occurrence, with approximately 25 million women around the world entering menopause each year and has important implications for both midlife and later-life health and well-being. Despite the significance of the menopause transition, there is a limited understanding of how this biological process may be socially conditioned. This dissertation aims to examine the variations in the menopause transition among women with different racial and ethnic backgrounds, educational attainment, and household income levels. This dissertation addresses: (1) differences in timing and duration of the menopause transition; (2) variations in hormone levels and the risk of hot flashes; and (3) the association of stressor exposure with the timing of the menopause transition and underlying hormonal changes. These findings highlight that variations in the timing and duration of the menopause transition are occurring, specifically during late perimenopause, and show that these sociodemographic differences are also reflected in hormone levels and risk for hot flashes. In addition, stressor exposure and appraisal are shown to vary across the menopause transition with increased exposure associated with differences in hormone levels and correlated with younger starting ages and longer durations of different menopausal stages. Together these chapters suggest that this biological aging process is socially patterned and may have important implications on the health and well-being of women.
