Abstract:
Several clinical aspects of women throughout menopause, such as physiological, nutritional, and psychological condition, may influence the timing of the menopause transition and postmenopausal quality of life. The primary goal of this review article is to compile the literature on menopause, with a focus on the factors that influence menopausal women's health-related quality of life in both positive and negative way. A number of studies have found a link between these characteristics and menopausal women's health-related quality of life. Regular physical activity, a healthy BMI, balanced nutrition, education, and awareness all improve postmenopausal women's quality of life. At this period, some dietary habits, such as an inadequate diet or nutrition, may have an impact on the quality of life. Inadequate nutrition can lead to a number of serious health problems, including osteoporosis, high blood pressure, cardiovascular risk, and a higher chance of breast and ovarian cancer. Due to frequent variations in oestrogen levels, the majority of women experience numerous psychological changes such as melancholy, anxiety, irritability, and other mood disorders during menopause transition, affecting the quality of life of menopausal women. There are a variety of functional foods and herbal supplements that can aid in the prevention of these health problems as well as improve the quality of life in menopausal women.
