Abstract
Background: Menopause, occurring typically between ages 45 and 55, is associated with various physical and psychological symptoms and an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases, osteoporosis and obesity. Purpose and Research Design: This review examines the impact of healthy dietary patterns in postmenopausal women, focussing on recent literature on the Mediterranean Diet, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), the Portfolio diet and other national healthy eating guidelines.Results: Evidence suggests that adhering to one of these healthy dietary patterns can reduce the risk of cardiometabolic diseases and may benefit body composition and bone health.Conclusions: Although promising, the current evidence, primarily from observational studies, requires more extensive and long-term intervention trials to establish definite conclusions. This review underscores the importance of dietary choices in supporting postmenopausal health and highlights the need for comprehensive dietary strategies tailored to regional eating habits.
期刊介绍：
Post Reproductive Health (formerly Menopause International) is a MEDLINE indexed, peer reviewed source of news, research and opinion. Aimed at all those involved in the field of post reproductive health study and treatment, it is a vital resource for all practitioners and researchers. As the official journal of the British Menopause Society (BMS), Post Reproductive Health has a broad scope, tackling all the issues in this field, including the current controversies surrounding postmenopausal health and an ageing and expanding female population. Initially this journal will concentrate on the key areas of menopause, sexual health, urogynaecology, metabolic bone disease, cancer diagnosis and treatment, recovering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, cognition, prescribing, use of new hormone therapies, psychology, the science of ageing, sociology, economics, and quality of life. However as a progressive and innovative journal the Editors are always willing to consider other areas relevant to this rapidly expanding area of healthcare.
