Sarcopenia can also occur with other health conditions, such as excess adipose tissue and bone weakness. The presence of multiple long-term conditions can exacerbate sarcopenia, and it has been observed in tandem with a variety of chronic illnesses. Biological markers can act as an early identifier or predictor of disease, enabling simple surveillance and prompt treatment.

Age and education level significantly affected the risk of sexual dysfunction in women experiencing menopause. In the meta-analysis of 21 cross-sectional studies with 9262 participants found an overall effect size (ES) of 20.12 (95% CI: 17.39-22.86) for average sexual function and 0.65 (95% CI: 0.63-0.66) for the average percentage of sexual dysfunction among postmenopausal women. The pooled effect of the intervention on the average difference between the intervention and control groups was 3.08 (95% CI: 2.68-3.49), which was significantly different from zero (<i>p</i> < 0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This review reveals a significant prevalence of sexual dysfunction among postmenopausal women. The findings underscore the significant impact of educational interventions on enhancing sexual function in menopausal women. Consequently, it is advantageous to incorporate tailored intervention programs into medical education and healthcare practices to address sexual dysfunction during this challenging phase.</p>","PeriodicalId":36518,"journal":{"name":"Health Science Reports","volume":"8 10","pages":"e71270"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12500535/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145252942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
