Survey Finds 7 in 10 Women Unaware Symptoms Were Linked to Perimenopause
A survey published by the Rapid City Journal indicates that a significant majority of women, 7 in 10, were unaware that their symptoms were associated with perimenopause.
Rapid City, SD, October 21, 2026 —
A survey published by the Rapid City Journal found that 7 in 10 women surveyed were unaware that their symptoms were associated with perimenopause, according to a summary of the findings.
The result points to a gap between experiencing symptoms and recognizing their possible association with perimenopause. The summary describes the share as a significant majority, but does not identify which symptoms respondents reported or how the survey defined them.
Details needed to assess the finding’s scope were not provided in the available summary. It does not state when the survey was conducted, how many people participated, where respondents lived, how they were recruited or what questions they were asked. The summary also does not clarify whether respondents were asked about symptoms they were experiencing at the time or symptoms they had experienced previously.
Those missing details limit what can be concluded from the figure. The reported 7-in-10 result describes the survey finding, but the available information does not establish how closely the respondents reflect women more broadly. No additional results or comments from participants were included in the summary.
The survey’s central reported finding is that many respondents did not connect their symptoms with perimenopause. Further information about the survey’s design and the symptoms covered was not provided.
