Summary

This study follows 80 women aged 45-55 as they go through menopause to see how their nerves and blood vessels change. Researchers will measure nerve activity and blood vessel function each year, or every six months once perimenopause starts. The goal is to understand why menopause might raise the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.
