Effects of resistance training on C-reactive protein in menopausal and postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Importance
Menopause is a biological stage associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality due to changes in sex hormone levels.
Objective
This systematic review aimed to investigate the benefits and harms of RT in menopausal and postmenopausal women.
Evidence Review
We searched PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to 2021, and clinical trial registries. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) in menopausal and postmenopausal women that compared women undergoing RT programs with a control group were included. The primary outcomes were C-reactive protein level and ...

Menopause influences aortic pulse pressure and pressure wave responses to metaboreflex activation in women
Objective
Postmenopausal women (post-MW) have greater risk of heart failure due to aortic pulsatile overload on the left ventricle associated with increased backward wave pressure (Pb). Post-MW have exaggerated peripheral blood pressure (BP) response to exercise mediated by metaboreflex (postexercise muscle ischemia [PEMI]) overactivation. Increased forward wave pressure (Pf) and Pb are determinants of aortic pulse pressure (PP) during isometric handgrip exercis (IHG) in young adults. We hypothesized that aortic PP and pressure wave responses to PEMI are augmented in nonhypertensive post-MW compared with premenopausal ...

The influence of an exercise program in middle-aged women on dietary habits. The FLAMENCO project
Objective
To determine the extent to which following an exercise training program can modify dietary habits and adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) compared with a counseling group.
Methods
These are secondary analyses from the FLAMENCO (Fitness League Against MENopause COst) project. The present randomized controlled trial included 150 perimenopausal women who were randomized into counseling (n = 75) or exercise (n = 75) groups. The counseling group attended conferences on a healthy lifestyle. The exercise group followed concurrently a 4-month (60 min/session, 3 d/wk) training and did not take part in the ...

Association between vitamin D and calcium intakes, breast microcalcifications, breast tissue age-related lobular involution and breast density
Objective
To demystify the potential role of vitamin D and calcium intakes in breast carcinogenesis, we explored the association between these two nutrients and three biomarkers of breast cancer risk: the presence of microcalcifications, age-related lobular involution and breast density.
Methods
A total of 82 premenopausal and 79 postmenopausal women diagnosed with breast cancer completed a food frequency questionnaire to assess their total vitamin D and calcium intakes. Presence of microcalcifications was determined by reviewing pathology reports. Age-related lobular involution was assessed in nontumoral breast...

Vitamin D supplements and prevalent overactive bladder in women from midlife through older ages
Conclusions
OAB symptoms are highly prevalent across adult women, including the oldest old, who are often excluded from treatment trials. Despite interest in vitamin D supplementation as a low-cost strategy to address OAB, our findings indicate oral vitamin D is not associated with prevalent OAB in middle-aged and older women.

Perimenopause meets life: observations from the Women Living Better Survey
Objective
The purpose of these analyses was to test a predictive quantitative model relating personal characteristics, reproductive aging stages, health behaviors, roles, stressors, and satisfaction with life roles to bothersome symptoms experienced during the late reproductive stage and the menopausal transition (MT).
Methods
Participants (N = 2,406) aged 35 to 55 years completed the Women Living Better Survey online between March to August 2020, and 1,529 met the inclusion criteria and provided menstrual cycle data for staging reproductive aging. They were recruited from the Women Living Better newsletter and ...

Limited evidence of a threshold effect for increasing adiposity on risk of symptoms at midlife
Objective
To assess the nature of relationships between increasing body mass index (BMI) and the prevalence of midlife symptoms in a population with high adiposity.
Methods
In the cross-sectional Study of Women's Health in Qatar, 841 participants aged 40 to 60 years were recruited from nine primary health centers in Doha. Face-to-face interviews collected demographic, menopause, and symptom information. BMI (kg/m2) was categorized as healthy, overweight, or class I, II, or III obesity. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to examine aches/stiffness in joints, trouble sleeping, shortness of breath, u...

The association between incidentally found breast arterial calcification on routine screening mammography and the development of coronary artery disease and stroke: results of a 10-year prospective study
The objective of this study is to assess whether the presence of breast arterial calcifications (BACs) found on routine mammography is prospectively associated with the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events after 10 years of follow-up.
Methods
Women presenting for screening mammography were enrolled in this prospective cohort. Baseline data were collected including history of CVD and CVD risk factors. Mammograms were assessed for the presence or absence of BAC. Participants completed questionnaires 10 years after baseline that assessed the development of CVD (coronary artery disease [CAD] and stroke) an...

The severity of individual menopausal symptoms, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Cohort
Conclusion
Among postmenopausal women with no known CVD at baseline, the severity of specific individual MS was significantly associated with incident CVD and mortality. Consideration of severe MS may enhance sex-specific CVD risk predication in future cohorts, but caution should be applied as severe MS could also indicate other health conditions. (Source: Menopause)

Menopause hormone therapy and complementary alternative medicine, quality of life, and racial/ethnic differences: the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN)
Conclusion
Comparisons between treatment type within each racial/ethnic group yielded significant differences in self-reported QoL. Clinicians should be aware of racial/ethnic differences in treatment preferences when counseling patients on treatment options for menopausal symptoms to provide optimal care.
