# HKCategoryValueMenopausalState

A value that indicates the menopausal state at a recorded point in time.

```
enum HKCategoryValueMenopausalState
```

## Overview

Use these values when creating [`HKCategorySample`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKCategorySample) instances with the [`menopausalState`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKCategoryTypeIdentifier/menopausalState) type. Each value records a person’s menopausal state at a specific date. Apps can query multiple samples over time to derive higher-level interpretations such as active periods, transitions, or current state.
