In women who have reached the aging stage, menopause is a physiological condition marked by a decline in estrogen levels. Estrogen deficiency frequently results in symptoms that significantly interfere with women's daily activities and even jeopardize their pleasure at home. In Indonesia, menopause is thought to occur between the ages of 40 and 55 on average. According to World Health Organization projections, the number of women going through menopause is expected to rise from 107 million in 2025 to 373 in 2030, and then to 1.2 billion in 2030. Health education is one way to try to raise awareness about menopause. Increasing the awareness of women between the ages of 45 and 55 about menopause can be accomplished more effectively and appropriately through health education. A literature review methodology was used in the writing of this paper. In the review literature search technique, the search phrases "health education," "menopausal women," and "readiness" were employed. Relevant sources, particularly Pubmed and Google Scholar, provided the information necessary to search for both domestic and international articles. Articles must (1) be published in the five final years (2019–2024), (2) be unique, (3) be completely accessible, and (4) be in either Indonesian or English. Based on the findings from thirty domestic and international periodicals. Twenty-five journals were selected in the initial screening step based on inclusion criteria, abstract, and title. Fifteen publications were found during the second stage of screening, which was based on outcomes and methodologies. Nine national publications that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were discovered during the third screening step. The understanding of women between the ages of 45 and 55 regarding menopause is influenced by health education, it can be concluded. Brochures, films, PowerPoint presentations, booklets, and other types of educational media can be employed.
