Menopause provides a forum for new research, applied basic science, and clinical guidelines on all aspects of menopause. The scope and usefulness of the journal extend beyond gynecology, encompassing many varied biomedical areas, including internal medicine, family practice, medical subspecialties such as cardiology and geriatrics, epidemiology, pathology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and pharmacology. This forum is essential to help integrate these areas, highlight needs for future research, and enhance health care.

Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society publishes important and timely articles in this rapidly expanding area of interest to specialists, general practitioners, nurses, and social workers. It features peer-reviewed, original research papers and review articles related to menopause, hormone therapy, nonhormone and hormone-related aging factors in women, cardiovascular disease in women, osteoporosis, breast cancer and other female cancers, and primary-preventive health care for women in the menopausal period.
