Abstrakt:	The Women's Health Study (WENDY) was conducted to improve insights into women's health and health burden. It provides a unique, comprehensive data source that can be broadly utilised to understand gynaecological symptoms, diseases, and their relation to metabolic and overall health more deeply in a population-based setting. The study was conducted in Finland from May 2020 to October 2022. It included 1,918 women (33-37 years old) who were born in Northern Finland between July 1985 and December 1987. Data collection comprised one three-to-four-hour study visit that included clinical measurements, biological samples, ultrasound examinations and an extensive questionnaire on gynaecological and reproductive history, physical and mental health, quality of life, lifestyles, current life situations, health awareness and opinions. The study also included a menstrual cycle follow-up and cognitive testing up to three months via a mobile application. Given that all participants' data can be linked to all Finnish national registers, and the NFBC participants' data can be linked to the birth cohort data set collected from gestational week 24 onwards, WENDY study forms one of the largest datasets worldwide to investigate gynecological and metabolic health burden in women.
