title: Biobehavioral aspects of menopause: lessons from the Healthy Women Study.
abstract: The Healthy Women Study is an ongoing natural history study of the menopause in a sample of relatively healthy women. We report data from this paper on the behavioral and biological changes that occur during the transition from pre- to postmenopausal status and argue for the importance of behavioral change interventions to prevent or attenuate some of the adverse changes due to the menopause.
