Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN), 2005-2007: Visit 09 Dataset

The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN), is a multi-site longitudinal, epidemiologic study designed to examine the health of women during their middle years. The study examines the physical, biological, psychological and social changes during this transitional period. The goal of SWAN's research is to help scientists, health care providers and women learn how mid-life experiences affect health and quality of life during aging. Data were collected about doctor visits, medical conditions, medications, treatments, medical procedures, relationships, smoking, and menopause related information such as age at pre-, peri- and post-menopause, self-attitudes, feelings, and common physical problems associated with menopause. The study began in 1994. Between 2005 and 2007, 2,255 of the 3,302 women that joined SWAN were seen for their ninth follow-up visit. The research centers are located in the following communities: Ypsilanti and Inkster, MI (University of Michigan); Boston, MA (Massachusetts General Hospital); Chicago, IL (Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center); Alameda and Contra Costa County, CA (University of California-Davis and Kaiser Permanente); Los Angeles, CA (University of California-Los Angeles); Hackensack, NJ (Hackensack University Medical Center); and Pittsburgh, PA (University of Pittsburgh). SWAN participants represent five racial/ethnic groups and a variety of backgrounds and cultures. Though the New Jersey site was still part of the study, data was not collected from this site for the ninth visit. Demographic and background information includes age, language of interview, marital status, household composition, and employment.

《全国女性健康研究》（SWAN）是一项多中心的纵向流行病学研究，旨在探讨女性在中年期间的健康状况。该研究对这一过渡时期内的生理、生物、心理和社会变化进行了考察。SWAN研究的目的是协助科学家、医疗保健提供者和女性了解中年经历如何影响衰老过程中的健康与生活质量。研究收集了关于医生就诊、医疗状况、用药、治疗、医疗程序、人际关系、吸烟以及与更年期相关信息的资料，包括围绝经前、围绝经和绝经后年龄、自我态度、情感以及与更年期相关的常见生理问题。该研究始于1994年。在2005年至2007年间，共有2,255名加入SWAN的3,302名女性完成了第九次随访。研究中心位于以下社区：密歇根州的Ypsilanti和Inkster（密歇根大学）；马萨诸塞州的波士顿（马萨诸塞州总医院）；伊利诺伊州的芝加哥（拉什长老会-圣卢克医疗中心）；加利福尼亚州的阿拉米达和康特拉科斯塔县（加州大学戴维斯分校和凯撒永久医疗集团）；加利福尼亚州的洛杉矶（加州大学洛杉矶分校）；新泽西州的Hackensack（Hackensack大学医疗中心）；以及宾夕法尼亚州的匹兹堡（匹兹堡大学）。SWAN参与者代表了五个种族/民族群体，以及多样的背景和文化。尽管新泽西州的研究点仍然属于研究范围，但在第九次访问中并未从该地点收集数据。人口统计和背景信息包括年龄、访谈语言、婚姻状况、家庭构成以及就业状况。
