Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN), 2003-2005: Visit 07 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 2003 and 2005, 2,327 of the 3,302 women that joined SWAN were seen for their seventh 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 seventh 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）是一项多地点纵向流行病学调查，旨在探究女性在中年期间的健康状况。研究内容涵盖此过渡时期内的生理、生物学、心理学及社会变革。SWAN研究的目标是协助科学家、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状况和生活质量。研究收集了关于医生就诊、医疗状况、药物、治疗、医疗程序、人际关系、吸烟以及与更年期相关的信息，包括围绝经期、绝经前后年龄、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2003年至2005年间，SWAN项目中的3,302名女性参与者中有2,327人接受了第七次随访访问。研究机构分布如下：密歇根州的伊普西兰蒂和英克斯特（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-路克医疗中心）、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）、新泽西州的霍肯萨克（霍肯萨克大学医疗中心）以及宾夕法尼亚州的匹兹堡（匹兹堡大学）。SWAN的参与者代表了五个种族/民族群体，以及多样化的背景和文化。尽管新泽西州的研究点仍属于研究范围，但第七次访问时并未收集该地点的数据。人口统计学和背景信息包括年龄、访谈语言、婚姻状况、家庭构成和就业状况。
