Background: The present review focuses on the effectiveness of lifestyle modification on reproductive health among young women. Obesity causes various physical and psychological health risks in women’s reproductive health and overweight, obesity are increasing and have become an epidemic worldwide. Objective: This article investigated the outcome of a lifestyle modification package on the reproductive health of young obese and overweight women. Methods: The literature published in English from 2010 to 2020 was reviewed using PRISMA guidelines. Scientific articles were searched in the electronic data base (Scopus, Medline, Google scholar, and PubMed central) on the lifestyle modification on reproductive health. Results: After reviewing the literature, it showed that the outcome of lifestyle modification had improved the reproductive health of women in infertile women in many ways. Conclusion: The review highlights the need for specific interventional studies on reproductive health which can improve the health of young women.
Background Obesity management in young women necessitates interventions that include dietary modification and physical exercise. High-intensity lifestyle modification is effective in managing obesity in young women. Objectives The study determined the effectiveness of a nurse-led lifestyle modification intervention (NLLMI) on obesity among young women in India. Methods The study adopted a quasi-experimental pre- and post-interventional control group research design. The study was conducted among obese young women in the communities of Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India. The participants were selected using convenient sampling technique. The sample included 150 women in the study group and 150 in the control group. The NLLMI comprising of exercises and dietary modifications were taught to the participants for 30 min three times a week for 24 weeks. Thereafter, they were encouraged to follow the diet and perform the exercises on their own for the next 12 weeks. Practice diary was maintained by the participants and they were encouraged to continue the intervention through the phone. The participants in the control group did not engage in the NLLMI until the post-test. However, they did receive the same NLLMI after the trial was over. Results There was a high statistically significant difference ( p = 0.001) between the study group and the control group the after 12th and 24th weeks of NLLMI. The study group had a significant reduction in BMI after the intervention. Conclusions Young obese women may benefit from a NLLMI if they regularly follow the healthy eating habits and physical exercise.
For many obese and overweight women, sexual functioning is a critical, but often ignored, aspect of their quality of life. Obesity is becoming a global problem. The aim of this article was to provide an introductory insight into the relationship between obesity and sexual dysfunction in women from the recent literature. The link between obesity and sexual functioning is poorly understood, and therapeutic choices are even less well understood. Weight did, however, affect the some aspects of sexual function in studies of special populations such as women with gestational diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence. Surgical weight loss, but not non-surgical weight loss is linked to the resolution of some aspects of sexual dysfunction in women. When it comes to sexual dysfunction, women's weight plays a pivotal role. Non-weight loss surgery has been linked to improved sexual function in women. To fully understand the link between weight and sexual function, more research is needed.
