Perimenopause Economics

Meaning

Perimenopause Economics is a conceptual framework that evaluates the holistic economic impact of the menopausal transition on a woman’s life, encompassing both direct healthcare expenditures and the indirect costs of lost productivity and reduced quality of life. This assessment includes the cost of managing fluctuating symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes, as well as the long-term financial implications of hormone-related health risks such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. It provides a quantitative rationale for early, comprehensive wellness interventions.
