Newson Health to showcase research at European menopause conference

Seven abstracts accepted for the European Congress on Menopause and Andropause in Florence

Newson Health has been selected to share insights and research at a prestigious European menopause conference later this year.

Seven abstracts have been accepted for presentation at the Annual European Congress on Menopause and Andropause, which will take place in Florence, Italy, on 3-5 May.

Organised by the European Menopause and Andropause Society (EMAS), Newson Health’s four oral presentations and three poster presentations at the conference will cover the following topics:

• the impact of menopause education in schools
• menopause discussions in the home and between generations
• for women established on HRT, how effective is the addition of transdermal testosterone in improving symptoms beyond those related to sexual function?
• diet and exercise habits in perimenopausal and menopausal women
• surprising menopause symptoms
• prevalence and nature of negative mood symptoms in perimenopause and menopause.

Balance founder, GP and Menopause Specialist Dr Louise Newson, said: ‘I am thrilled Newson Health had all our submitted abstracts accepted for presentation.

‘From symptoms to treatments and lifestyle measures, the breadth of the topics we will be presenting is a testament to Newson Health’s commitment to transforming women’s health. We look forward to sharing our insights and best practice with healthcare professional colleagues across Europe and beyond.’

EMAS is an international society promoting health in women and men at midlife and beyond, made up of more than 40 affiliated societies.

Key topics up for discussion at the congress include why menopause and post-menopausal health is a key issue for all areas of medicine, and why menopausal health also must also extend into the workplace.

Other themes include why menopause treatment needs to be individualised.
