Social support was identified as a social factor protective against perimenopausal depression and anxiety. Resiliency characteristics were reported to be protective psychological factors associated with fewer depressive symptoms. Mental health history, family history of major depressive disorder, trait anxiety and neuroticism, stressful life events, adverse childhood events, and chronic stress were categorized as harmful psychological factors associated with depression during perimenopause.

Reduced nitric oxide bioavailability is considered one of the key mechanisms underlying vascular dysfunction in large arteries of older adults. However, the relationship between cardiovascular disease risk factors, nitric oxide bioavailability, and skeletal muscle microvascular reactivity, an early hallmark in cardiovascular disease progression, is unclear in older individuals. Also uncertain is whether this relationship is influenced by sex. Therefore, this study assessed the association between cardiovascular disease risk factors, circulating markers of nitric oxide availability (plasma nitrate and nitrite), and skeletal muscle microvascular reactivity in older individuals. First, we confirmed in a cohort of young and older individuals that aging is associated with skeletal muscle microvascular dysfunction.
