Our lips can be a focus of beauty but increasingly research shows that our mouths are a window to the overall health of our bodies. From diabetes or dementia to the health of our hearts and bones our mouths can tell us so much more about us without uttering a word.

Claudia Hammond is joined by Professor Nikos Donos from Queen Mary University in London, Dr Graham Lloyd-Jones, consultant in radiology at Salisbury Hospital, Dr Kristina Wanyonyi-Kay, research programme leader at The Healthcare Improvement Studies Institute based at the University of Cambridge, and Dr Vivien Shaw, acupuncturist, anatomist and researcher at Hull York Medical School. Together they delve into the evidence that links the health of our mouths with the rest of our bodies.

The Evidence

Millions of people around the world experience the menopause each year; it's an important milestone, which marks the end of their reproductive years.

But every individual's experience of it is personal and unique. In some cultures, there's a stigma about this life stage – it's viewed with trepidation and as something to be dreaded. In other cultures, it's considered to be a fresh start, a time of greater freedom when women no longer have to worry about their menstrual cycles.

In this edition of The Evidence, Claudia Hammond and her expert panel take a global look at the science of the menopause and debunk some myths along the way.

As Claudia and her guests navigate their way through the menopause maze, they look at the most recent academic research in this area. They also discuss the physical and psychological symptoms, the lifestyle changes women can make and the different treatments available, including Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Claudia speaks to the American biological anthropologist who has dedicated an impressive 35 years of her life to studying the average age of the menopause in different countries - and finds out how hot flushes vary in different cultures. She also speaks to a doctor who is working hard to make women's health less of a taboo subject in the community where she works. And she hears from a Professor of Reproductive Science who is setting up the UK's first menopause school.
