To summarize these studies
总结一下这些研究结论
we really don't know much

and then they are eligible for studies

and we drop them from the research
但现在一旦她们进入绝经期
once they became menopausal or had hysterectomy
或者接受了子宫切除术
or went on hormone therapy
或激素疗法 那么就不再具有参与实验的资格了
So we started to learn a bit more
所以我们开始慢慢的了解
about women in this age group

the objective measures

are similar to their subjective reports
