A key recommendation was to adopt a standard definition of menopause based on the cessation of menses.
The importance of considering women's self-defined menopausal status, especially in cross-cultural contexts, was emphasized.

Conclusions:

Standardized definitions are vital for scientific comparability in menopause research.
Future research should balance standardized definitions with understanding women's subjective experiences of menopause, particularly across diverse cultures.
