Abstract

Background/objectives

Perimenopause is characterized by cardiometabolic and hormonal changes that increase cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies may support cardiovascular health. This scoping review mapped the evidence on mHealth interventions for CVD prevention among perimenopausal women.

Methods

Interventional and observational studies were included. MEDLINE Complete, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for studies published between January 2014 and January 2026, following JBI methodology.

Results

Twelve studies were included, mostly from high-income countries. Only one intervention was tailored to menopause. Mobile app–based interventions were most common; outcomes were mainly assessed by individual risk factors rather than composite CVD risk scores.

Conclusions

Menopause-tailored pragmatic studies in LMICs, including Arab countries, are needed.

围绝经期妇女初级心血管疾病预防的流动卫生干预：范围综述

背景/目的围绝经期以增加心血管疾病（CVD）风险的心脏代谢和激素变化为特征。移动医疗（mHealth）技术可支持心血管健康。本综述对移动健康干预措施在围绝经期妇女中预防心血管疾病的证据进行了梳理。方法采用常规研究和观察性研究。按照JBI方法，检索了2014年1月至2026年1月间发表的研究。结果纳入了12项研究，大部分来自高收入国家。只有一种干预措施是针对更年期的。基于移动应用程序的干预措施最为常见；结果主要通过个体危险因素评估，而不是综合心血管疾病风险评分。结论需要在包括阿拉伯国家在内的中低收入国家开展针对更年期的务实研究。
