The focus was to set the historic context within which research about women in the workplace must be approached. It is exciting for occupational health researchers to see expansion of the evidence about health and work but we urge menopause and work researchers to collaborate with occupational health colleagues. The growing literature suggests that most women do not experience problems coping with their menopause in the workplace. Most research, however, fails to consider any workplace factors or even the nature of the job women are needing to do. Where studies have focused on occupational groups, they have focused on nurses or other professional/leadership groups. So far, it appears that women's ability to cope is influenced by the number of symptoms, severity of symptoms, and workplace and personal psychosocial factors. However, the problems with coping may be greater for disadvantaged women doing less well-paid work with less flexibility and autonomy. The same women probably have less access to appropriate advice, treatment and support. Researchers must focus on women at highest risk and take a nuanced approach to optimize support without increasing gender-based discrimination.","PeriodicalId":10213,"journal":{"name":"Climacteric","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143810592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Menopause experiences were assessed with structured questionnaires. The study described sociodemographic, health and lifestyle characteristics and menopause symptoms by menopause stage, type (natural or surgical) and timing, and tested for differences using chi-square and Fisher's exact tests.Results: Most women (92%) were postmenopausal, and 7% reported surgical menopause. The mean recalled age at natural menopause was 48 years, and the median recalled age was 49 years. Nearly a third of women experienced premature/early menopause (age ≤45 years). Overall, women reported hot flashes of any intensity (from mild to extremely bothersome) in the past month (30%), urinary incontinence in the past 12 months (37%) and depressive symptoms (15%). Menopause symptoms varied by menopause timing and type (natural vs. surgical). Particularly, the point prevalence of bothersome hot flashes of any intensity in the past month, urinary leakage in the past 12 months and depressive symptoms in the past week was 28%, 37% and 14%, respectively, for women who had natural menopause, and 40%, 48% and 20%, respectively, for surgical menopause.Conclusion: Women of South Asian ancestry reported an earlier recalled age at natural menopause than the average age of 52 years reported in the USA. The burden of hot flashes of any intensity, urinary and mood disturbances suggested distinct postmenopause experiences.","PeriodicalId":10213,"journal":{"name":"Climacteric","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143771684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Serum levels of creatinine, glucose, glycated hemoglobin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, thyroid-stimulating hormone and uric acid were evaluated. Women were categorized into quartiles. A directed acyclic graph was designed to identify confounding variables. Multivariable regression analysis was used to assess associations between uric acid with HGS or dynapenia.Results: Women with hyperuricemia presented significant association with lower HGS (p = 0.00028). After adjusting for potential confounders, the multivariable linear regression to analyze the association between uric acid and HGS showed an inverted U-shaped curve, with quartile 1 (β = -0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.50, 0.40), quartile 3 (β = -0.21; 95% CI: -1.20, 0.74) and quartile 4 (β = -1.3; 95% CI: -2.3, -0.37) compared with quartile 2. Serum uric acid levels were significantly associated with HGS (p = 0.036).Conclusions: The association between uric acid quartiles with HGS or dynapenia displayed an inverted U-shaped curve. These findings suggest that specific serum uric acid levels within the normal range are associated with better HGS.","PeriodicalId":10213,"journal":{"name":"Climacteric","volume":" ","pages":"126-132"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142766774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review highlights key focus areas presented at the congress, offering insights into best practices for clinical application. Cardiovascular health remains a priority, with emphasis on recognizing sex-specific risk factors and exploring emerging therapies. Osteoporosis management underscores the role of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) as foundational, complemented by anti-resorptive and bone-forming agents in high-risk populations and those not candidates for MHT. Addressing genitourinary symptoms and sexual health, vaginal estrogen therapy is confirmed as a safe and effective option with vaginal dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and oral ospemifene as suitable alternatives, while testosterone therapy offers benefits for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in postmenopausal women. Sleep disturbances, depression and workplace challenges linked to menopause were explored, with tailored interventions such as MHT and cognitive behavioral therapy specifically for sleep recommended. Cancer risk management stressed the need for a multidisciplinary approach to risk reduction beginning with lifestyle modification, and with non-hormonal therapies prioritized for symptomatic treatment of menopausal symptoms in those with hormone-sensitive cancers. Lastly, perimenopause management highlighted comprehensive approaches integrating symptom relief and contraceptive needs.","PeriodicalId":10213,"journal":{"name":"Climacteric","volume":" ","pages":"98-103"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143381717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hand skin temperature was measured using infrared thermography, tympanic and axillary temperature with an infrared thermometer, and serum NO levels using an ozone chemiluminescence-based method.Results: Tympanic temperature was higher in postmenopausal women with FM than in postmenopausal controls. Significant differences were found in all of the temperatures recorded in both hands between healthy premenopausal women and premenopausal women with FM and between postmenopausal controls and postmenopausal women with FM. No differences were found in hand temperature, axillary or tympanic temperature, or NO levels between healthy premenopausal and postmenopausal women or between premenopausal and postmenopausal women with FM.Conclusion: The association between menopause and FM could be responsible for the higher tympanic temperature observed in women with FM. FM, but not menopause, may increase hand skin temperature, which could be indicative of excessive peripheral vasodilation. Menopause may not alter body temperature or NO levels in either patients with FM or healthy women.","PeriodicalId":10213,"journal":{"name":"Climacteric","volume":" ","pages":"133-142"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143499028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
