So there's two core areas we've been looking at at ZOE. One is we've been looking at the relationship between menopause and health, so disease. So we've been doing some deep dives into looking at how menopause is related to disease risk factors like blood pressure, like post-meal glucose responses, etc., And that's a study we published a couple of years ago.

And I'd love if we've got chance at some point to pick up on that, because I think it's great that we're talking about menopause more internationally. It's great that we're talking about symptoms. But what we mustn't forget is the impact that menopause also has on are disease risk related to metabolic diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes. But we can pick up on that later.

The main research that we published recently over the last few weeks is some research that we have been collecting data on for about three years, where we've been asking women at a given point in time, What are your menopause symptoms? And then taking lots and lots of other measures. This is part of our Zoe Predict study, and this is a huge cohort of individuals.

We have 200,000 individuals in total, some of whom we're following over a period of time. It's the largest in-depth nutrition and health study internationally. 70,000 of these individuals are perimenopausal women. We have about 30,000 that are perimenopausal and 40,000 that are postmenopausal.

And this is really important because a lot of research looking at menopause and looking at diet or looking at other health kind of related factors or symptoms actually just look at postmenopausal, like how does this diet affect postmenopausal women? What we've done is we've got this huge 30,000 individual perimenopausal cohort and these 40,000 postmenopausal cohort.

And this is important because we know that the menopause transition period, i.e. when you're going from pre to postmenopausal is a really important time, particularly in terms of symptoms. And I'd love to just quickly pick up on that just in case anyone's not so familiar with these different terms.

You don't go to bed one night and you're premenopausal and you wake up the next day and it's like, hey, I'm postmenopausal, great, it's all done. There's a transition period. And this transition period can last anywhere from two years to eight years for different individuals. On average, it probably lasts about three to four years, although it varies across different populations.

And during this transition period, this is when your oestrogen and other hormones start changing. But your oestrogen doesn't, again, just slowly decline in this lovely kind of linear way so that your body sort of gets used to it. It's like a hormonal roller coaster. It's like this chaotic time where your oestrogen is going up and down. It's fluctuating day to day.
