MenopuaseRx New Age Survey

Sent July 28, 2005 - 1926 Responses within 72 hours

Survey Background Information/Summary:
We conducted a brief nation-wide survey to help us better understand the differences in managing menopause today vs. the experience of women from previous generations.

This survey revealed that a large percentage of respondents begin experiencing menopause symptoms between 35 and 54 years of age. Troublesome symptoms reported include hot flashes, night sweats, trouble sleeping and fatigue. These troublesome symptoms seemed to affect these women more than their mother’s, as significant percentages have a career and ‘busier’ schedule. Fortunately, 87% of respondents feel that they are more informed about menopause compared to their mother’s, using the internet and personal research as tools to find information.
