      Objective To investigate the current situation of menopause-related popular science cognition among mid-dle-aged and elderly women in Shanghai,and provide a basis for the popularization of health care knowledge for women during the menopausal transition period and postmenopausal period.Methods A random survey was conducted among 5 441 women aged≥ 40 years from various districts in Shanghai.A questionnaire survey was adopted to collect their relevant information,in-cluding 18 questions on basic information,cognition of menopause-related popular science,focus points and acquisition ways of popular science information and etc.Results A total of 5 200 subjects were included in the survey,with a questionnaire valid-ity rate of 95.57％.Their mean age was 51.74 years.21.06％of the respondents expressed satisfaction with the current situa-tion of menopause-related popular science and 18.25％were dissatisfied.16.85％of the respondents thought that popular sci-ence information about menopause was not important and would not actively search for it.The three most concerned questions were:disease prevention during menopause,non-hormonal therapeutic approaches,and early signs of menopause initiation.However,less than 50％of the respondents held an important attitude towards common problems during menopause,and 18.98％of the respondents believed that hormone treatment for menopause was not important.The main ways for the respond-ents to obtain knowledge about menopause-related popular science in their daily lives were to actively learn about it after seeing news media,to inadvertently obtain it,and to actively learn about it after themselves or their friends get sick.At the same time,it was believed that the main factors hindering the progress of science popularization were the lack of notification from medical personnel,disorderly information,and complex professional terminology.Conclusion The attention and cognitive level of menopause-related popular science among middle-aged and elderly women in Shanghai still need to be improved.The popularization of menopausal knowledge through various ways is conducive to the health care of women at this period.
