Abstract
Reproductive health can be a reflection of overall health. It follows that abnormalities of reproductive milestones may be a manifestation of unhealthy aging. Since 1994, the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) has assessed how menopause and the process of that transition may affect future health. Themes have emerged from SWAN associating patterns of hormones and symptoms with metabolic status.The nature of these relationships vary as women traverse the menopause and ovarian hormone production ceases. This review describes these cross-cutting themes and their possible meaning for the health of the mid-life woman.Entities:
