Menopause Myths Debunked
Research by the University of Delaware sheds new light on menopause, a widely discussed topic. According to UD anthropology professor Melissa Melby, Japanese women experience fewer menopausal symptoms and smoother transitions into older age compared to their Western counterparts.
The difference, Melby notes, is not genetic but rather cultural, linguistic, and medical. Melby has spent nearly three decades studying menopause in Japan, beginning her research in her late 20s. Now, at 53, she 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.
The Japanese perspective might provide a counterbalance, said Melby.
