Designates October 18 of each year as "Postmenopause Day" in New Jersey.
AJR 124 designates October 18 of each year as "Postmenopause Day" in New Jersey. This ceremonial resolution aims to raise public awareness about postmenopause - the period after menopause (typically beginning after 12 months without periods, average age 51) - and its associated health risks, such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular issues. It references existing World Menopause Awareness Day (October 18) and encourages the Governor to issue an annual proclamation promoting educational activities. The bill has no regulatory or funding provisions; it solely serves to highlight health considerations for postmenopausal women.
