| | | | Summary: | The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN)
collected data from women between the ages of 40 through 55 who
represented different ethnic groups in Boston, Massachusetts,
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Oakland and Los Angeles, California,
Chicago, Illinois, Detroit, Michigan, and Newark, New Jersey. These
data are intended to represent women in mid-life living in the United
States and to assess those factors associated with age at natural
menopause, prevalence of surgical menopause, symptoms of menopause,
health status, and health care usage. The data include questions about
doctor visits, medical conditions, medications, treatments and
procedures, relationships, smoking, and menopause related information
such as age at pre-, peri- and post-menopause, self-attitudes and
feelings, and common physical problems associated with menopause. Also
included in the data are background characteristics (age, race,
occupation, education, marital status, and family size). |
