Our primary outcome was use of medication for the treatment of moderate or severe symptoms of menopause. We used the Menopause Rating Scale to evaluate respondents' symptoms: 0-4 none or little symptoms; 5-8 mild symptoms; 9-16 moderate symptoms; and 17+ severe symptoms. We abstracted demographic and clinical information including age, rurality, race, ethnicity, primary language, and insurance type. We used a regression model to determine the association between public insurance and treatment for moderate to severe menopause symptoms. We examined reasons for nonuse of therapy.Results: Our sample included 845 perimenopausal or postmenopausal individuals who were predominantly White (93.0%), aged 45-49 (32.8%) or 50-54 years (39.1%), and privately insured (81.3%). Overall, 62.4% of individuals with moderate and severe symptoms of menopause were not receiving any therapy. After adjustment for age and rurality, public insurance was associated with an average of 47% increased odds of nontreatment for moderate or severe menopause symptoms (adjusted odds ratio: 1.47, 95% CI: 0.99-2.19). The most common reasons for nontreatment in both groups were \"therapy was not recommended by a provider\" (43%) and worries about safety or side effects (40%).Conclusions: Even in well-insured persons, the majority of people with moderate and severe symptoms of menopause are not receiving treatment. People who are publicly insured are more likely to go untreated than privately insured individuals.","PeriodicalId":18435,"journal":{"name":"Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society","volume":" ","pages":"1062-1068"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142349744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the effect of the number of pregnancies and births in the early years of life on cognitive function in postmenopausal women remains controversial. This study aims to investigate the relationship between these two factors.Methods: We used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2014 data on women aged ≥60 years. This study included sociodemographic data, history of estrogen use, and contraceptive use as confounding variables. The combined scores of the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Word Learning (CERAD-WL), delayed word recall (CERAD-DR), the Animal Fluency test (AF), and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) were used to assess the cognitive performance of participants. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis explored the relationship between the number of pregnancies and births and cognitive function.Results: The study screened 1,259 postmenopausal women and found that 24.3% had low cognitive performance. The study found a significant increase in low cognitive performance among older adults, Mexican Americans, those with a lower education level and poverty-income ratio, those who were widowed, and those with diabetes and hypertension (P < 0.001). In the multiple regression analysis, the number of pregnancies remained a significant determinant of cognitive performance (B = -0.188, P < 0.001).Conclusions: The number of pregnancies was associated with cognitive performance in a population of postmenopausal women in the United States. A lower number of pregnancies is associated with better cognitive performance.","PeriodicalId":18435,"journal":{"name":"Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society","volume":"31 12","pages":"1055-1061"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142695622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Women were 24-44 yr old at baseline and biennially reported their menopause status, including reasons for cessation of menstrual periods. In 2009 and 2013, women reported on their experience of hot flashes and night sweats. Covariates included age, age at menarche, body mass index, smoking, and parity. Sexual orientation was reported in 1995 and 2009.Results: Age-adjusted Cox models and logistic regression models suggest that there were no statistically significant differences in menopause timing between lesbian or bisexual women when compared with heterosexual women. When examining menopause symptoms, lesbian women consistently had a statistically significantly (P < 0.05) higher odds of experiencing hot flashes or night sweats (odds ratio range: 1.17 to 1.72) and moderate/severe symptoms (OR range: 1.26 to 1.77) than heterosexual women, even after adjusting for covariates such as smoking and obesity. There were no statistically significant differences in menopause symptoms between bisexual and heterosexual women.Conclusions: Our findings suggest no meaningful difference in menopause timing between sexual minority and heterosexual women. Additionally, menopause symptoms were more likely among lesbian women and warrants additional study.","PeriodicalId":18435,"journal":{"name":"Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society","volume":"31 12","pages":"1049-1054"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11681838/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142695629","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most women suffer symptoms during menopause, impacting their quality of life for a decade or more. This study aimed to determine the effect of cinnamon on the severity of postmenopause symptoms.Methods: A randomized, triple-blind, parallel clinical trial was conducted on 60 postmenopausal women in the health centers of Hamadan, Iran. The study included women aged 45 to 60 years who were 1 to 3 years after their last menstrual period. The participants were assigned to two groups using a permuted block randomization method. The intervention group received a daily dose of one cinnamon capsule (1 g) for 2 months, whereas the control group received a placebo. The participants, researchers, and statistical analysts were all blinded. The study measured the severity of menopause symptoms using the Menopause Rating Scale before and 2 months later. Data were analyzed using Stata-13 software.Results: Data from 59 individuals were analyzed. The analyses were adjusted for baseline Menopause Rating Scale scores. After the intervention, the severity of menopause symptoms was lower in the intervention group (13.95 ± 4.16) compared to the control group (16.64 ± 4.16) (P = 0.01), with an effect size of 0.65 (95% CI, 0.12-1.17). Additionally, the intervention group had lower scores for psychological symptoms compared to the control group (P = 0.006), with an effect size of 0.74 (95% CI, 0.21-1.27).Conclusions: The consumption of cinnamon in postmenopausal women has been found to improve the severity of menopause symptoms, with a particular emphasis on the psychological domain.","PeriodicalId":18435,"journal":{"name":"Menopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society","volume":"31 12","pages":"1078-1084"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142695647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
