Self-reported studies estimated that as many as 50-75% of women experience symptoms during menopause; however, limited real-world clinical data are available to support this observation. The electronic databases of Maccabi Healthcare Services were used to describe the prevalence of menopause symptoms in Israel and to characterize patients with regard to socioeconomic status, comorbidities and use of healthcare services.
