Study releases initial findings

The first results of the CLIMATERE study are being released on Thursday, October 15, during the National Menopause Conference. This study, launched in March 2025, aims to explore the challenges women face during pre-menopause and menopause.

Study details and leadership

The CLIMATERE study was led by Dr. Alexandre Vallée, who heads the epidemiology and public health department at Foch Hospital in Suresnes. It involved 4,140 participants and focuses on improving the prevention and management of the transitional period between reproductive and post-reproductive life.

Research objectives

Dr. Vallée explained that the goal of CLIMATERE is to better understand the health and social issues faced by women during pre-menopause and menopause. This understanding is expected to lead to more effective healthcare strategies for this demographic.

Initial findings and implications

The initial findings from the study suggest several key insights, including the importance of dedicated medical consultations for women undergoing these life changes. These results are expected to influence future healthcare policies and clinical practices related to menopause.
