Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), or hot flashes and night sweats, are often considered the cardinal symptoms of menopause. SWAN, one of the largest and most ethnically diverse longitudinal studies of the menopausal transition, has allowed unique insights into VMS. Specifically, SWAN has helped yield important information about the prevalence of, racial/ethnic differences in, risk factors for, and implications of VMS for midlife women's mental and physical health. We have reviewed the literature on VMS, emphasizing findings that have emerged from SWAN and new areas of inquiry in the area of VMS.
血管舒缩症状（VMS），又称热潮红和盗汗，通常被认为是绝经期的主要症状。SWAN 是最大和最多元化的绝经过渡期纵向研究之一，它使人们对 VMS 有了独特的了解。具体来说，SWAN 提供了有关 VMS 的患病率、种族/民族差异、风险因素以及对中年女性心理健康和身体健康影响的重要信息。我们回顾了关于 VMS 的文献，强调了从 SWAN 中得出的发现以及 VMS 领域新的研究领域。
