Midlife and Menopause
1.5 million American women experience menopause every year. Despite this, middle aged women feel unprepared for changes that occur during this important life transition. Hormonal changes that occur during menopause affect women's sleep, weight, mood, and overall health.

We are conducting several projects focused on women's experiences of midlife including:
- sex differences in exercise, cognition, and brain imaging
- sex differences in midlife risk factors for Alzheimer's disease
- review of publicly available resources for women's menopause education
- development of a menopause educational intervention
- qualitative interviews about how women learn about menopause
- qualitative interviews about women's sexual health in midlife
