Perimenopausal Women's Health. Theory and practice

In connection with the success of medicine, life expectancy is increasing, which is especially reflected in the life expectancy of the female population. In Russia, the life expectancy of women has increased from 49.6 years in 1939 to 72.2 years in 1999 [6]. A decrease in fertility and an increase in the life expectancy of women leads to the fact that the proportion of older women in the population is increasing every year. So, today, 10% of the entire population are women of menopausal age, while about 25 million people are added to their number every year. According to experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), by 2030 there will be more than 1 billion women over 50 years old.
