Claims this source supports

• In a study of roughly 396,000 women in NIH's All of Us Research Program, menopause appeared in participant surveys nearly 7 times more often than in electronic health records (~193,000 survey menopause observations vs ~28,000 EHR menopause diagnoses).
• Only about 7% of women in the cohort had menopause documented in their electronic health record at all.
• Age at menopause and other routine reproductive details were frequently absent from the structured record, leaving the transition unmeasurable at the population level.
• Principal investigator Audrey Hendricks (CU Anschutz): 'We cannot study what we do not measure. We cannot treat what we do not know.'
