Conclusion: This review concludes that MetS is more common in post-menopausal women and are more likely to experience somatic complaints and a positive correlation of vasomotor symptoms with MetS, in comparison to pre-menopausal women which is due to estrogen shortage and fat redistribution. Additionally, in older and obese women, the...

Conclusion: Hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy and ovarian conservation were associated with greater subclinical atherosclerosis progression relative to natural menopause. The associations were stronger for later age and longer time since oophorectomy/hysterectomy. Further research should continue to examine long-term atherosclerosis...

Conclusions: Weekend catch-up sleep had a decreased prevalence of hyperuricemia in postmenopausal women with sleep deprivation.

Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that the vaginal microbiota in postmenopausal women with RC is essentially different from that of postmenopausal women with uncomplicated cystitis. Therefore, vaginal dysbiosis is likely associated with RC because the vagina serves as a reservoir of enteric bacteria, from which cystitis becomes...

Conclusion: In this case-control study, MM in the general population had clinical characteristics that were quantitively different from those of non-MM. Detailed descriptive data and suggested improved diagnostic criteria for pure MM and menstrually related migraine were provided.

Conclusion: Menopause and perimenopause can be associated with distressing symptoms and reduced quality of life. Menopausal hormone therapy is the first-line treatment for vasomotor symptoms in the absence of contraindications. Patients with contraindications to estrogen and progestin therapy can be offered nonhormonal alternatives. Choice of...

Discussion: Given the complex nature of connecting perimenopause and/or menopausal symptoms and the inter-relationship with other chronic conditions, the availability of accurate and trusted interpreter support during the consultation is necessary for this complexity to be explored safely and thoroughly in a conversation between the woman and...

Discussion: Researchers increasingly recognize that menopause and the transition to it, a phase labelled perimenopause, could set the stage for brain health in later life, and there are even hints that it could correlate with the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Conclusion: This large cross-sectional study identified a major negative impact of menopause symptoms on work outcomes and the need to improve medical treatment for these women and make the workplace environment more supportive. Additional studies are needed to confirm these findings in larger and more diverse groups of women.

Conclusion: E4 demonstrated estrogenic effects in the vagina and decreased signs of atrophy. E4 15 mg is a promising treatment option also for important menopausal symptoms other than VMS.

Conclusion: We found significant differences in the mean values of most HRV parameters between measurements during the first 20 min compared with measurements during the last 30 min of recording. Therefore, optimal measurement protocols in a resting sitting position should be performed within the first 20 min or between 20 and 50 min after...

Conclusion: Phytoestrogen administration to menopausal women is indicated to reduce depression symptoms. More research in the area is needed to reach definite conclusions.

Conclusion: he results of this study indicate that the SaBang-DolGi walking exercise program has a positive effectiveness on the physical and mental health of menopausal women. Moreover, the proposed protocol is associated with variables of physical health (body composition, flexibility, grip strength and abdominal muscle strength) and...

Conclusion: PMO is a global public health problem and it is extremely important to reveal biomarkers that can be used in its early diagnosis for its prevention. In addition, the simple, cost-effective, and accessible biomarkers to be used will pave the way for their more widespread use, thus enabling a wider assessment of the population at...

Conclusion: A review of NIH research activities on chronic conditions in women, completed in preparation for the congressionally directed “Advancing NIH Research on Women’s Health” conference, revealed multiple opportunities to align the NIH research agenda with the health needs of women. Social determinants of health, including factors...

Conclusion: Phytoestrogen administration to menopausal women is indicated to reduce depression symptoms. More research in the area is needed to reach definite conclusions.

Conclusion: In this study, females exhibited higher tau compared with age-matched males, particularly in the setting of elevated Aβ. In females, earlier age at menopause and late initiation of HT were associated with increased tau vulnerability especially when neocortical Aβ elevated. These observational findings suggest that subgroups of...

Conclusion: There are associations between the risk of dementia and the age of menarche, the age of menopause, and the time between first menstruation and menopause. Another interesting problem regards the sex-specific differences in the architecture of the brain. Differences found in the structural and functional connections of a woman’s...

Conclusion: Menopausal status was associated with increased glucose and cholesterol levels independent of age and BMI in middle-aged Korean women. Menopausal status showed a significant relationship with increased total cholesterol levels even after adjusting for age and BMI in non-obese women but not obese women. Therefore, intensive...

Conclusion: In WWH, the menopausal transition was associated with BMI and WC trajectories that were mostly in a negative direction and opposite from WWOH after adjusting for age, suggesting that HIV blunts weight gain during the menopausal transition.
