Menopause Myths Debunked
Research by the University of Delaware sheds new light on menopause, a widely discussed topic.
In Japan, women experience fewer menopausal symptoms, take less hormone replacement therapy, and report smoother transitions into older age compared to their Western counterparts.
The difference is not genetic, but rather cultural, linguistic, and medical, according to Melissa Melby, a UD anthropology professor who has spent nearly three decades studying the topic.
The Japanese perspective might provide a counterbalance.
Melby has published her first book, Reframing Aging: Insights from Biology and Culture of Midlife Japanese, which challenges dominant Western narratives about hormones, aging, and women's health.
- Research began in her late 20s
- Now, at 53, she has published her first book on the topic
