Menopause Myths Debunked
Research by the University of Delaware sheds new light on menopause, a widely discussed topic.
In Japan, women experience fewer menopausal symptoms and smoother transitions into older age compared to their Western counterparts. According to UD anthropology professor Melissa Melby, this difference is attributed to cultural, linguistic, and medical factors rather than genetics.
The Japanese perspective might provide a counterbalance.
Melby has spent nearly three decades studying menopause in Japan, starting 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.
