“…29 Similar to previous findings that showed a significant inverse association between physical activity and menopause symptoms, physically active women in our study experienced less severe physical menopause symptoms. 7, 35 Chang et al 36 showed an inverse relationship between increased sports or exercise activity level and severity of physical menopause symptoms among US Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women. Another study showed that increased physical activity was associated with fewer psychosocial and physical symptoms; however, opposing results or no associations were reported in studies conducted among US and Norwegian populations, which revealed no relationship between physical exercise and menopause symptoms.…”

“…Moreover, there have been few studies conducted to evaluate knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding menopausal symptoms [49,50], as well as quality of life [26]. This study adds to the growing body of evidence that onset of menopause is determined by an interaction of multiple factors that are not merely inheritable.…”

Background. women experience many changes over the course of life, from menarche to pregnancy and menopause. The factors affecting natural menopause and the variation in women's menopausal age are not understood. Few studies to date have examined the mean age of menopause and factors affecting it among Saudi women. Objectives. To determine the association between menopausal age and lifestyle and reproductive factors. To assess knowledge and preventive practices relating to menopause. Material and methods. This cross-sectional study involved 500 Saudi women between the ages of 45 and 65 years who had no history of breast cancer or surgically induced menopause. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Results. The study involved 500 Saudi women aged 45-65, with a mean age of 51.4. ± 5.06 years and an average age at natural menopause of 49.5 ± 4.9 years. approximately 49.4% of participants were premenopausal, 21.8% were perimenopausal, and 28.8% were post-menopausal. analysis of lifestyle factors revealed that 26% never exercised and 56.6% were obese. regarding the influence of obstetric factors, there were statistically significant differences between groups based on age at menarche, age at marriage, maternal age at menopause, and number of pregnancies. We also assessed knowledge and health care practices (including mammograms, pap smears, dXA, vitamin d and calcium use, and colonoscopy) and menopausal status. Conclusions. BMi, age at menarche, maternal age at menopause, marital age and parity are associated with age at natural menopause. Knowledge about menopause did not influence common preventive measures for postmenopausal women.

“…Two studies -one randomized controlled trial (51) and one functional magnetic resonance study (57) -included 100 women or fewer. In nine studies, the number of participants ranged between 246 and 389 (39,41,43,45,46,48,50,58,59), while five studies included 745-1774 women (44,47,52,53,55), and six studies enrolled more than 2020 women (40,42,49,54,56,60). Of these, three studies had more than 20,000 participants.…”

“…(11) Eight studies included only postmenopausal women (50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)59), three studies enrolled premenopausal and menopausal women (48,49,60), and two studies included peri-and postmenopausal women (41,46). Nine studies enrolled pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal women (39,40,(42)(43)(44)(45)47,57,58). In all studies, amenorrhea for longer than 12 months was the criterion for menopause, while irregular menstruation within the previous 12 months was the criterion for perimenopause.…”

Introduction: Menopause is a complex physiological, self-perceived health condition caused by the reduction and termination of ovarian function, a process that results in a range of both psychological and physiological symptoms. The aim of this literature review was to synthesize the results of published studies on factors associated with menopausal symptoms in women during the transition to menopause and the postmenopausal period.Methods: This systematic review was carried out according to the PRISMA statement. Primary studies published between 2007 and 2017 were identified through the following databases: PUBMED, SCOPUS, and CINAHL. In total, 3301 studies were identified and 279 were screened in full text. Of these, 54 studies were included for quality assessment using checklists from the Norwegian Institute for Public Health. A total of 22 studies were ultimately selected for inclusion in the results. These were thematically reviewed.Results: A wide range of determinants was sorted as socio-demographic predictors, reproductive factors, clinical characteristics, behavioral, and lifestyle characteristics, and their association with the following outcomes was examined: The prevalence and severity of menopausal symptoms; sexual functioning; health indicators and health behaviors; health-related quality of life; physical performance; cognitive changes and attitudes; and the prevalence and age of natural menopause.Conclusions: The current state of knowledge regarding menopause indicates that a wide array of instruments and variables have been employed and assessed to further understanding about menopause-related symptoms. This systematic review provides information on factors that should be considered in the treatment of menopause-related changes that may be bothersome for menopausal women.
