World Menopause Day 18 October 2023
17 October 2023
Awareness around this topic is key to reducing the stigma attached to menopause and encouraging people to talk more openly about it.
The theme for World Menopause Day 2023 is cardiovascular disease. The link between reproductive factors and cardiovascular disease is another important aspect of menopause that women need to be aware of.
Researchers have recently discovered that a woman's reproductive experiences (including menstruation, pregnancy, any breast cancer treatments and menopause) can affect the chances of developing cardiovascular disease later in life. Awareness of this can help determine an individual's risk.
The International Menopause Society has a range of resources available to support this year’s theme, available in different languages.
