Evaluating menopausal symptom burden and treatment engagement in a predominantly Hispanic population on the United States-Mexico border

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the burden of menopausal symptoms, healthcare engagement, and treatment disparities among postmenopausal women in a predominantly Hispanic population along the United States-Mexico border. Their findings revealed a high prevalence of symptoms such as sleep disturbances and weight gain, yet a significant portion of participants reported that their symptoms had never been addressed by a clinician, highlighting socioeconomic and ethnic disparities in treatment access and engagement. The study underscores the necessity for culturally and linguistically appropriate menopause care to improve outcomes in this population.
