Healthy women carrying pathogenic germline mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes have an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Prophylactic gynecological surgery includes risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, which, in selected cases, can be combined with hysterectomy. Prophylactic gynecological surgery is recommended after completion of childbearing and can be performed for women aged 35 or more for BRCA1 or 40 or more for BRCA2 mutation carriers. Risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy has several adverse effects related to estrogen deprivation, and so hormonal therapy could be the main strategy for healthy women...

INTRODUCTION: Vasomotor symptoms (VMS) are the symptoms most frequently experienced by women transitioning to menopause and are a primary indication for menopausal hormone therapy. A growing body of evidence has associated the presence of VMS with future risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. This study aimed to systematically evaluate, qualitatively and quantitatively, the possible association between VMS and the risk for incident CVD. METHODS: This systematic review and meta-analysis included 11 studies evaluating peri- and postmenopausal women in a prospective design...

AIM: There is need for a straightforward objective measure to evaluate vaginal wall changes related to hypoestrogenism. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate a transvaginal ultrasound procedure for the quantification of vaginal wall thickness in order to differentiate between healthy premenopausal women and postmenopausal women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause using ultra-low-level estrogen status as a model. METHODS: We performed a prospective, two-arm, cross-sectional pilot study comparing vaginal wall thickness measured by transvaginal ultrasound in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors using aromatase inhibitors with genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM group) and healthy premenopausal women (control or C group) from October 2020 to March 2022...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the cross-sectional associations of reproductive history and use of exogenous hormones with fast walking speed (WS) in women. STUDY DESIGN: Between 2012 and 2020, 33,892 French women aged 45 years or more, recruited at health centers, underwent physical function tests and self-reported information on reproductive history and use of exogenous hormones. Linear mixed models with the center as random intercept were used to estimate the association of exposures with WS...

Undeniably, biological age can significantly differ between individuals of similar chronological age. Longitudinal, deep multi-omic profiling has recently enabled the identification of individuals with distinct aging phenotypes, termed 'ageotypes'. This effort has provided a plethora of data and new insights into the diverse molecular mechanisms presumed to drive aging. Translational opportunities stemming from this knowledge continue to evolve, providing an opportunity for the provision of nutritional interventions aiming to decelerate the aging process...

OBJECTIVE: There is limited information on the prevalence of premature and early menopause. Therefore, we studied the frequency and type of premature (age < 40 years) or early (age 40-44 years) menopause in a geographically-defined American population. METHODS: We studied a random sample of women aged 18 to 50 years who resided in Olmsted County, MN between 1988 and 2007. Women were followed through December 2021, and age at cessation of menses was assessed via review of the medical records included in a medical records-linkage system...

OBJECTIVES: Associations between age at menopause and cognition post-menopause are examined to determine whether relationships are stronger for certain cognitive domains. STUDY DESIGN: Women from the Medical Research Council National Survey of Health and Development and its neuroscience sub-study, Insight 46, were included if they had known age at menopause (self-reported via questionnaire) and complete cognitive outcome data at age 69 (n = 746) or at Insight 46 wave I (n = 197)...

REVIEW

BACKGROUND: Cancer patients and survivors commonly have poorer health behaviours and subsequent outcomes, often as a result of negative impacts of diagnosis and treatment. Motivational interviewing is reported to be an effective psychological tool to produce a shift in one's behaviour resulting in improved outcomes. However, there is a lack of analyses investigating this tool's impact on healthy behaviours and health outcomes in cancer populations. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of motivational interviewing on behaviours and health outcomes in cancer populations...

OBJECTIVES: This study compares the recurrence rate, complication rate and subjective satisfaction with laparoscopic uterosacral suspension with or without hysterectomy. STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective cohort study included 105 patients between June 2014 and December 2019. Recurrent pelvic organ prolapse was defined as any prolapse to or beyond the hymen with straining or needing retreatment. Student's t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, the chi square test or Fisher's exact test, multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used for the data analysis...

AIMS: The prevalence of cardiovascular diseases increases in women after menopause. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of conventional cardiovascular risk factors such as age, blood pressure, smoking, cholesterol, obesity, and glucose balance, but also menopausal state and sleep-disordered breathing on vascular impairment during menopausal transition. METHODS: 89 women initiated the study and 74 of them participated in the 10-year follow-up. Cardiovascular disease risk factor assessments, ultrasound measurements of brachial artery function, including nitroglycerin-mediated vasodilatation and flow-mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilation, and sleep studies were repeated at baseline and at 5-year and 10-year follow-ups...

Perimenopause is a hot topic in the UK mainstream media, with celebrities championing the cause and a new selection of books being published on the topic. Little is known, however, about the experiences of women serving in the UK Armed Forces while transitioning through perimenopause. This mixed-methods survey aimed to evaluate women's current experiences to determine what future research or policy is required to support this phase. It highlighted seven themes where the impact of the perimenopause was the greatest: coping in the workplace, fearing the effect on careers, accessing healthcare, the management of perimenopause by primary care, physical effects, psychological and cognitive effects, and physical activity...

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the study was to investigate whether postpartum depression is associated with a risk of depression during perimenopause. STUDY DESIGN: This is a Danish nationwide register-based cohort study of 270,613 individuals who were born in 1960-1968, who gave birth to a liveborn child recorded in the Medical Birth Register before the age of 40, and who lived in Denmark when turning 47 years old. The association between postpartum depression and depression during perimenopause was analyzed using a Cox Proportional Hazards model adjusted for education level, marital status, and age at first delivery...

OBJECTIVE: The menopause transition is associated with difficulties in executive function. However, it is unclear whether these difficulties persist past perimenopause. This study investigated whether potential confounders, including natural vs. surgical postmenopause and menopause-related psychological symptoms, influence whether executive dysfunction persists into postmenopause. STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional sample of women aged 35-65 years (N = 1971) in one of four groups, premenopause, perimenopause, natural postmenopause, and surgical postmenopause, were surveyed...

BACKGROUND: The determinants of gender differences in frailty remain unknown but may include social factors. International attention is increasingly focusing on the adverse childhood experiences of women. This study therefore examined the gender-specific association of adverse childhood experiences with frailty index level and trajectory.
