The menopause transition is associated with distinct blood pressure trajectories, supporting the need for frequent blood pressure monitoring during this period.
Abstract
Distinct BP trajectories over the menopause transition exist that revealed a group of women whose SBP, PP, and MAP trajectories are consistent with a menopause contribution. Our findings support frequent monitoring of BP during the menopause transition.
