METHODS: We enrolled 274 women with PBO with or without concurrent or preceding hysterectomy and 240 referents aged 55 years and older who were residents of Olmsted County, MN as of the PBO or index date. Chronic conditions were assessed via medical record abstraction...

OBJECTIVES: A qualitative research study design was used to (1) describe experiences of White women during the menopausal transition, and (2) identify barriers and facilitators for participating in a lifestyle program targeting weight management. METHODS: Perimenopausal and postmenopausal White women who self-reported a desire to lose or maintain weight participated in focus groups. Women were queried about their past diet, exercise, and weight management practices; menopausal transition; and specific components and considerations for developing a lifestyle program for weight management...

OBJECTIVE: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are reported in more than half of the women in the United States and have been shown to negatively impact the menopause experience. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between ACEs and age at natural menopause. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study conducted among participants of the Data Registry on the Experiences of Aging, Menopause, and Sexuality (DREAMS). The registry included women who were seen for consultations in the women's health clinic at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, between May 2015 and December 2016...

IMPORTANCE: There is a paucity of data on recent attitudes and perceptions toward hormone therapy use, especially subsequent reanalysis and follow-up of Women's Health Initiative data. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the factors influencing women's attitudes and perceptions toward hormone therapy use for menopausal symptoms. EVIDENCE REVIEW: We conducted a comprehensive search of several medical databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus...

OBJECTIVE: Women experience many physical and psychological changes with the reduction of progesterone and estrogen as ovarian function gradually weakens. This study applied a music psychotherapy program as a nonpharmacological treatment method in addition to treatment using drugs such as hormone therapy for perimenopausal women.

OBJECTIVE: The safety, consequences, and dosage of long-term hormone therapy (HT) for postmenopausal women remain unclear. Our aim was to analyze the effects of HT after 20 years of therapy in women after hysterectomy, focusing on the symptoms of menopause, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and bone density. METHODS: A prospective observational longitudinal study was designed. The initial transdermal estradiol dose was reduced in half (0.025 mg/d) at 60 years of age...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the association of circulating senescence-associated secretory phenotype proteins, secreted by senescent cells, with indicators of women's ovarian reserve. METHODS: This secondary analysis of cross-sectional baseline survey data was undertaken by the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study Cardiovascular Disease Association Study. A total of 223 women (aged 40-82 y), without any history of oophorectomy, hysterectomy, or other medical conditions that could lower the ovarian reserve, were enrolled in this analysis...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factors related to endometrial cancer (EC) in postmenopausal women with endometrial thickening and the value of endometrial thickness (ET) in predicting EC. METHODS: A retrospective study of 385 referrals to our department for hysteroscopic diagnostic curettage assessment was carried out. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to identify the independent contributors to the development of EC. The ability of ET to predict EC was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis...

OBJECTIVE: The menopausal transition results in a progressive decrease in circulating estrogen levels. Experimental evidence in rodents has indicated that estrogen depletion leads to a reduction of energy expenditure and physical activity. It is unclear whether treatment with estrogen therapy increases physical activity level in postmenopausal women. METHODS: A total of 27,327 postmenopausal women aged 50-79 years enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative randomized double-blind trials of menopausal hormone therapy...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to examine longitudinal associations of history of infertility with menopausal symptoms in midlife. METHODS: Six hundred ninety-five midlife women (≥45 y old or reporting ≥12 mo of amenorrhea at the midlife visit) in Project Viva, a prospective cohort enrolled 1999-2002 during pregnancy and followed for 18 years after enrollment ("midlife visit"). Exposure was history of infertility defined as time to pregnancy ≥12 months (≥6 mo if ≥35 y), use of medical treatment to conceive, or infertility consultation or treatment in the 6-month preceding enrollment...

IMPORTANCE AND OBJECTIVE: Despite a decreasing incidence of cervical cancer in North America overall, disparities in screening and cervical cancer rates persist, especially in the postmenopausal age group. METHODS: We reviewed the literature regarding cervical cancer screening considerations for postmenopausal persons, with a focus on cervical cancer in postmenopausal persons, existing guidelines, screening methods, and gaps in care. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Postmenopausal persons are an important population at risk because age 65 years in the United States and up to 70 years in some parts of Canada is a milestone for screening cessation if the criteria are met...

OBJECTIVES: This study describes translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and validation of the Attitude Towards Menopause (ATM) scale in Persian. METHODS: A standard process was followed for translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the ATM scale into Persian. The content validity index and content validity ratio were used to measure content validity. The construct validity was tested using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. The average variance extracted and construct reliability were used to indicate convergent and discriminant validity, respectively...

IMPORTANCE: Data on whether the carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is useful for treatment of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) are inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: This meta-analysis evaluated the benefits and safety of CO2 laser compared with sham treatment of GSM. EVIDENCE REVIEW: A relevant literature search of Europe PMC, MEDLINE, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases using specific keywords was conducted. The results of continuous variables were pooled into the standardized mean difference (SMD), whereas dichotomous variables were pooled into odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using random-effects models...
