“…The first subcategory includes the resilience factors hardiness [27], (ego-)resilience [19,34,46] and sense of coherence [27], and can be described as "Core resilience". For the second subcategory, meaning in life [28,29] and religiosity [25] can be combined into "Spirituality". The third subcategory is termed "Control", and encompasses self-efficacy [28,44,50,51] and the related resilience factor mastery, which describes the extent to which people feel that their life chances are under their personal control [52].…”

“…Hardiness and sense of coherence have been reported as beneficial to health outcomes during the menopause [27]. Moreover, meaning in life [28,29] and spirituality [25] can provide strength and comfort, and both concepts are related to a better health-related quality of life and decreased menopausal symptoms compared to women with lower spirituality or less meaning in life. Maintaining a role or having goals helps people to experience life as meaningful [30].…”

“…Maintaining a role or having goals helps people to experience life as meaningful [30]. Consequently, selfefficacy seems to be an important resilience factor during the perimenopause [28]. Higher levels of optimism have also been linked to reports of fewer symptoms in perimenopausal women [27,31].…”

A B S T R A C TThe menopausal transition is a critical phase for psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety, with prevalence rates of depression ranging up to 20% during the menopause. Nevertheless, the majority of women cope adequately with this reproductive transition phase and thus appear to be resilient. We assert that a variety of psychological factors influence the menopausal transition and result in an individual state on a continuum from successful adjustment to maladjustment. The purpose of this review is to offer a conceptual framework of resilience factors during the menopausal transition and to reveal which dimensions of resilience have already been verified for a healthy menopausal transition.We searched the databases PubMed and PsycINFO for studies investigating resilience factors during the menopausal transition which influence psychological and physical adjustment or maladjustment. A total of 23 articles were included.Altogether, we identified 15 different resilience factors, assessed with 23 different questionnaires. These factors can be grouped into six categories: core resilience, spirituality, control, optimism, emotion and selfrelated resilience. They are associated with a better adjustment to menopausal symptoms, milder physical symptoms, a better quality of and satisfaction with life, better well-being, less perceived stress and fewer depressive symptoms compared with women with lower levels of the respective resilience factors.Our conceptual framework includes resilience factors which have already been verified by empirical data. Further research is needed to determine whether these resilience factors can be assigned to a common factor and to incorporate biological resilience markers. already accompanied by various family, social and professional changes

SummaryEating disorders pose a serious medical, clinical and social problem. In the recent years cases of the lack of appetite are more often diagnosed in reference to middle-aged and elderly women. A situation like this may result from an existing disease process, a continuation of experiencing such problems in the past, and also a reflection of the trends being created by the modern media advocating the need for keeping a woman's physical attractiveness in her late adulthood. It happens more and more often that the effort to reduce weight achieve a slimmer look is taken by women in their 50s, and even 60s. There is also an existing view that eating disorders among elderly women appear in a close connection to psychical disorders. Many women perceive menopause as a loss and a sign of an oncoming old age, thus they are focused mainly on negative emotions in this period of life. On the basis of depression-like disorders, there appear problems with controlling and maintaining the body mass. Although the scale of the phenomenon has still a limited range and character, its significant impact on life quality of women's population in the menopausal period justifies the execution of the current review of the subject literature in this matter.Key words: menopause, eating disorders, quality of life. StreszczenieZaburzenia odżywiania stanowią istotny problem medyczny, kliniczny i społeczny. W ostatnich latach przypadki występowania zaburzeń łaknienia coraz częściej diagnozuje się u kobiet w średnim i starszym wieku. Sytuacja taka może być wynikiem istniejącego procesu chorobowego, kontynuacją doświadczania problemów tego typu w przeszłości, jak również odzwierciedleniem kreowanych przez współczesne media trendów, głoszą-cych potrzebę zachowania atrakcyjności fizycznej przez kobiety w późnej dojrzałości. Coraz częściej zdarza się, że wysiłek obniżenia wagi i uzyskania szczupłego wyglądu podejmują kobiety po 50., a nawet 60. roku życia. Istnieje również pogląd, że zaburzenia odżywiania u kobiet w starszym wieku pojawiają się w ścisłym związku z innymi zaburzeniami psychicznymi. Wiele kobiet postrzega menopauzę w kategoriach straty i zapowiedzi bliskiej starości, dlatego skupia się w tym okresie życia głównie na negatywnych emocjach. Na podłożu zaburzeń o typie depresji pojawiają się problemy z kontrolą i utrzymaniem masy ciała. Jakkolwiek skala zjawiska ma wciąż ograniczony zasięg i charakter, jej znaczący wpływ na jakość życia populacji kobiet w okresie menopauzalnym uzasadnia dokonanie aktualnego przeglądu literatury przedmiotu w tym zakresie.Słowa kluczowe: menopauza, zaburzenia odżywiania, jakość życia.
