Longitudinal association of midlife vision impairment and depressive symptoms: the study of Women's Health Across the Nation, Michigan site
Conclusion:
VI was associated with increased odds of future depressive symptoms among mid-life women. Timely detection and appropriate correction of VI may be important to consider in maintaining the mental health status of midlife women. (Source: Menopause)

Cardiovascular mortality after bilateral oophorectomy: a prospective cohort study
Conclusion:
Bilateral oophorectomy may be associated with cardiovascular mortality in women, but the estimate was not statistically significant. Additionally, we were unable to make firm conclusions regarding the possible modifying role of hormone therapy and hysterectomy on this potential association. Additional studies are needed to replicate this work. (Source: Menopause)

Treatment of menopausal symptoms: concomitant modification of cortisol
Objectives:
To evaluate whether change in menopausal symptoms is related to modification of 24-hour urinary cortisol.
Methods:
Sixty-nine postmenopausal women were treated for their menopausal symptoms with either estrogen progestin therapy (0.3 mg conjugate equine estrogens and 1.5 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate; n = 25), phytoestrogens (75 mg isoflavones, twice daily; n = 21) or acupuncture (once a week; n = 23). Baseline and treatment-induced changes of total and subscale scores (vasomotor, depression, anxiety, somatization, sexuality) of the Greene's Climacteric Scale and of 24-hour urinary...

Handgrip strength, dynapenia, and related factors in postmenopausal women
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of dynapenia and factors related to low dominant handgrip strength (HGS) in postmenopausal women.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was performed on 249 postmenopausal women aged 50 to 84 years. The following variables were recorded: age, age at menopause, smoking status, and the HGS measured with a digital dynamometer, body mass index, and adiposity assessed by bioelectric impedance. The physical activity level was evaluated by using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Bone mineral density was reported as T-scores, and blood biochemical parameters (calcium...

Patterns of menstrual cycle length over the menopause transition are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis after menopause
Conclusions:
Patterns of cycle length over the MT seem to be a marker of future vascular health that may help identify groups at greater or lesser risk of atherosclerosis after menopause. (Source: Menopause)

Age at menopause in women living with HIV: a systematic review
Conclusions:
Our systematic review summarizes the literature around HIV and age at menopause. Many studies reported a high prevalence of POI and early menopause among WLWH; a factor that may partially account for the observed lower age at menopause. As only one study included biochemical confirmation of menopause, it remains unclear whether individuals with early menopause or POI were truly menopausal or had prolonged amenorrhea due to other causes. Overall, our findings highlight the need for further investigation with studies that include an HIV negative control group and biochemical confirmation of menopause to bett...

Identifying the different subtypes in menopausal symptoms among middle-aged women in China: a latent class analysis
Conclusions:
A person-centered approach for middle-aged women could address the unmet need to understand the heterogeneity of menopausal symptoms. Subtyping facilitates the identification of the potential causes of menopausal symptoms and the development of personalized interventions.
