A population of 324 women who were over 45 and still menstruating were followed for a period of 3 yr. They were interviewed 6 times at 6-mth intervals. This paper presents data on the changes in menstrual status that occurred over the period of the study and relating these changes in menstruation to a woman's age and symptom experience.
