Questionnaires which purport to measure the subjective health of older women have been influenced by these images in terms of their design and content, the concepts underlying item selection and the interpretation of responses. There has been a failure within both medicine and outcome measurement to distinguish between those experiences which are a consequence of biology and those which stem from co-terminous events including the cultural significance of the menopause and moral and normative constructs. It is evident that not all problems attributed to menopause are actually caused by it. With respect to both prevention and measurement a more careful and thoughtful targeting of relevant issues is needed, with more attention being given to the values, hopes and fears of healthy women as they age, together with cross-cultural investigation of these phenomena, leading to the development of testable models which would guide the selection and interpretation of questionnaire content.
