Summary
Vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes and night sweats) and sleep problems are commonly reported by women going through the menopause. Their relationship is unclear but both are linked to adverse health outcomes like depression, cognitive decline and cardiovascular disease. This project aims to understand their relationship and whether they contribute independently to post-menopausal disease, and to explore treatments for vasomotor symptoms and sleep problems, which may in turn improve mental and physical health among women going through the menopause.
