Women's and health professionals' needs and preferences informing the updated IMS recommendations

Listen to this summary

The study aimed to identify and compare the priorities and resource preferences of midlife women (MW) and health professionals (HPs) to inform the updated International Menopause Society (IMS) recommendations. Through international surveys, the authors found significant differences in priorities, with HPs focusing on premature ovarian insufficiency and non-pharmacological interventions, while MW emphasized midlife body changes and quality of life. These insights will guide the IMS in addressing the distinct needs of both groups in their updated recommendations.
