“…Care about women’s health should be started at a young age to minimize health problems at older ages [ 13 ]. Women experience several somatic and mental changes at menopause that negatively affect their health status and life quality [ 14 , 15 ]. Obesity and central obesity are particularly considered as common disturbances associated with menopause [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Introduction: Anthropometry and bone mineral density are linked to hormonal imbalance, which plays a possible role in breast carcinogenesis. The current study was designed to explore the relationship between selected anthropometric and bone mineral density parameters and the risk of breast cancer in premenopausal and postmenopausal Saudi women. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among premenopausal (n = 308) and postmenopausal (n = 148) women at two Medical Cities in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from May 2015 to June 2016. Selected anthropometric measurements were obtained from 456 women; 213 of them had breast cancer. Bone mineral density was also measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results: Greater waist circumference was significantly correlated with a higher breast cancer risk in premenopausal women (OR = 1.02, p = 0.03) but not in postmenopausal women. Greater triceps skinfold thickness had been found to be significantly correlated with a higher risk of breast cancer in premenopausal (OR = 1.06, p = 0.001) and postmenopausal (OR = 1.06, p = 0.001) women. However, bone mineral density was not significantly associated with breast cancer risk in either group of participants. Conclusions: Breast cancer risk was significantly associated with waist circumference and triceps skinfold thickness in premenopausal women and with only triceps skinfold thickness in postmenopausal women.

Background: Menopause is a physiological phenomenon that occurs in aging women. Periodontal disease is associated with menopausal status. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) plays a role in general and periodontal bone turnover. Calcium is essential for the maintenance of bone and teeth, and serum ALP and calcium are specific bone markers related to the acceleration of bone mass loss in elderly women and periodontitis. Objectives: The aim of this study was to correlate the levels of serum ALP and calcium with periodontal status in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with periodontitis. Methods: A total of 22 perimenopausal and 49 postmenopausal women underwent a full periodontal examination assessing the pocket depth, number of teeth lost, clinical attachment loss, plaque index, calculus index, and papillary bleeding index. Using these measurements, the subjects were divided according to periodontal severity. Serum ALP and calcium were measured using the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. A correlation between serum ALP and calcium to periodontal status was investigated. Results: Serum ALP was significantly correlated with the severity of periodontitis, clinical attachment loss, and the number of teeth lost among perimenopausal and postmenopausal women (p < 0.05). Serum calcium levels were not correlated with periodontal status. Conclusion: Postmenopausal women tended to have more periodontal breakdown, and the level of serum ALP was increased in severe periodontitis.

Abstract:Menopause is about a pattern in ovarian activity, fertility rate, and a climacteric pattern with a range of four surfaces including hot flashes, problems, mood disturbance, sexual dysfunction. Many women seek traditional and complementary medicine for the management of these problems during this period. This research was conducted as a descriptive study in order to determine the health problems of menopausal women and the alternative and complementary treatment methods they use to cope with these health problems. The sample of the study consisted of 154 menopausal women between the ages of 40-60, who applied to the 4 Eylül Family Health Center affiliated to the Sivas Provincial Health Directorate between 30 March-20 June 2020 for any reason and accepted to participate in the research. The data of the study were collected through the Descriptive Questionnaire and the Menopause Symptoms Evaluation Scale. According to the Menopause Symptoms Rating Scale, it was determined that 83.1% of the women participating in the study had somatic, 87.7% urogenital, 98.1% psychological symptoms, and 98.7% of the women experienced symptoms related to the menopause period. It has been found that women apply herbal therapy, reflexology, worship, occupational therapy, thematic spa, cupping and leech as traditional practices for menopausal symptoms.In conclusion, In order to inform women about early menopause symptoms, it is absolutely necessary to question whether there is an early menopause in their first-degree relatives, to expand menopause clinics so that women can express themselves better, increase their quality of life and obtain information about the menopause process from the right sources, It should be ensured that they can spend this period more comfortably.
