This systematic review synthesizes existing observational studies examining associations between PA and menstrual health outcomes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and SportDiscus were searched to identify peer-reviewed, English-language articles examining associations between PA and menstrual health in observational studies. Random-effects meta-analyses of differences in menstrual health outcomes between no-to-low PA and medium-high PA groups were conducted where possible, and narrative synthesis was used where heterogeneity was too high. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 3,620 studies screened, 82 (<i>n</i> = 101,413 women) were included. Outcomes explored included symptoms, such as pain (<i>n</i> = 32 studies) and premenstrual syndrome (PMS; <i>n</i> = 33), and cycle characteristics, such as regularity (<i>n</i> = 20), cycle length (<i>n</i> = 14), bleed length (12=), flow (<i>n</i> = 10), and other \"menstrual problems\" (<i>n</i> = 7). Meta-analyses suggested lower PA levels were associated with higher odds of menstrual pain (1.67 [95% CI: 1.31-2.11]; 21 studies), PMS (1.22 [1.03-1.45]; 18 studies), and cycle irregularity (1.73 [0.92-3.24]; 11 studies). Associations between PA and bleed length, cycle length, and flow were mixed. Study quality was low (mean 3.3/7; SD: 1.1), with most studies relying on cross-sectional designs, self-reported PA measures, and inconsistent definitions of menstrual health outcomes. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> This review found strong evidence suggesting high PA levels are associated with reduced menstrual symptoms but mixed evidence for menstrual characteristics. Despite methodological limitations, PA appears to be a promising, low-cost, and accessible intervention for menstrual health. Future research should standardize methodologies, exploring PA types and intensities to develop effective guidelines for managing menstrual health.</p>","PeriodicalId":520699,"journal":{"name":"Journal of women's health (2002)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144791795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 2015-2023 rates of UTD cervical cancer screening for all races and ethnic groups were below the Healthy People 2030 goal of 84.3% and below the 2021 national screening average of 75.2%. Screening varied by race/ethnicity, with Hispanic individuals having the highest rates of UTD screening. Geographic location (urban, large rural, or isolated rural) did not show statistically significant differences in screening rates. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> In our analysis, we noted lower rates of participation in cervical cancer screening than national goals and the national average among all ages and racial/ethnic groups. Efforts to increase access and participation in cervical cancer screening programs are critical to eliminating preventable cervical cancer health inequities.</p>","PeriodicalId":520699,"journal":{"name":"Journal of women's health (2002)","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144639514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
