“…4 By associating the changes induced by menopause and the deleterious effects caused by the natural aging process, such as decline in aerobic and functional capacity, 5 and muscle capacity to generate maximum force, as well as the deterioration of the sensory system, 6 we observed the need to seek ways to minimize the physiological loss in women arising from both processes. 7 In this context, physical exercise is a potent tool for health promotion and disease prevention; 8 and the different types of training can be beneficial for menopausal women, such as aerobic training, 5 resistance training 9,10 combined training 7,11 and, recently popular in the fitness industry, 12 functional training. 13,14 Functional training has been prepared from the imitation of everyday gestures and activities (e.g.…”

Aim To evaluate the influence of functional training on cardiorespiratory parameters and cardiac autonomic modulation in postmenopausal women. Methods A total of 39 apparently healthy postmenopausal women were randomized into two groups and analyzed: the group that carried out the functional training (FTG; n = 19; age 60 ± 4.5 years; weight 67.64 ± 11.64 kg) for 18 weeks, and the control group (CG) who did not undergo the training (n = 20; age 58.45 ± 4.8 years; weight 66.91 ± 13.24 kg). Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and autonomic modulation trough heart rate variability were evaluated. The Student's t‐test or Mann–Whitney test were used to compare the differences (P < 0.05). Results The results obtained from the training showed improvement of the following cardiac parameters in the FTG: systolic blood pressure (CG −5.50 ± 12.76 vs FTG −18.36 ± 18.05, P = 0.021), diastolic blood pressure (CG 5.00 ± 20.13 vs FTG −9.47 ± 10.25, P = 0.002), heart rate (CG 7.00 ± 9.79 vs FTG −4.73 ± 8.41, P = 0.000), root mean square of the successive differences index (CG −0.18 ± 5.66 vs FTG 5.10 ± 11.93, P = 0.035) and RR intervals (CG –22.66 ± 75.75 vs FTG 70.17 ± 104.30, P = 0.003). Conclusion Functional training promoted beneficial effects on cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiorespiratory parameters in postmenopausal women. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2019; 19: 823–828.

“…8 It is known that age, overweight and obesity, smoking, and the presence of multi-morbidities impair the quality of life and impact the functional capacity. 9 According to Fonseca et al, the most relevant information in medical history declared at the time of the initial treatment in women after menopause were: hypertension (44.94%), diabetes (10.1%), smoking (8.39%), thyroid disorders (7.7%), malignancies (6.41%), cardiovascular disease (17.1%), dyslipidemia (0.88%) and psychiatric disorders (0.06%). 10 The severity of menopausal symptoms is negatively influenced in the presence of chronic diseases, multiple pregnancies and not using hormone therapy, with worsening of self-perceived health.…”

Conflict of interest: noneFemale aging is a process that involves hypoestrogenism time, the individual impact on each woman, and what we can do as experts to reduce morbidity and provide quality of life. This natural process in the female life cycle has been of concern to women after menopause. Changes in different biophysical and psychosocial aspects, and their individual experiences, have repercussions on the lives of patients seeking specialized and multidisciplinary support to reduce the harmful effects of prolonged hypoestrogenism. Overweight and obesity, inadequate living habits and the presence of multi-morbidities cause damage to the quality of life and impact the functional capacity. Behavioral prescription and hormone therapy are among the treatments given to ease symptoms and reduce morbidity. A better understanding of these factors can help identify groups that require more care after menopause.Keywords: post-menopause, women, aging.Aging is a physiological process in life and, in women, it is influenced by hypoestrogenism the greater their longevity. The increase in life expectancy among women brought changes in the mortality panorama. 1 Currently, the prevalence of chronic diseases, malignancies and repercussions of hypoestrogenism in each individual serves as motivation for health professionals in clinical and gynecological settings to offer prevention and promotion actions for women seeking quality of life and reduced morbidity. 2,3Also, concern about the quality of life and prevention of chronic diseases and cancer are the demands of women seeking a gynecologist.3,4 The notion of health has been a concern of the very patients interested in weight maintenance, adoption of healthy lifestyle habits, cessation of legal and illegal adictions, and the use of medications for adequate control of chronic diseases. 5Changes in biophysical aspects also affect the quality of life caused by prolonged hypoestrogenism related to urogenital disorders, changes in sexual behavior and libido, memory, skin tropism, effects on lipid profile, and bone metabolism. Psychosocial factors contribute to a positive or negative perception of women's health, which depends on how she experiences and sees life after menopause.7 There are occurrences such as loss of loved ones, change in marital status, retirement process, and prior preparation of this phase in which women turn their attention to themselves, their achievements and accomplishments, their wishes and needs. 8 It is known that age, overweight and obesity, smoking, and the presence of multi-morbidities impair the quality of life and impact the functional capacity.9 According to Fonseca et al., the most relevant information in medical history declared at the time of the initial treatment in women after menopause were: hypertension (44.94%), diabetes (10.1%), smoking (8.39%), thyroid disorders (7.7%), malignancies (6.41%), cardiovascular disease (17.1%), dyslipidemia (0.88%) and psychiatric disorders (0.06%).

Objective: identifying the instruments used to measure quality of life during menopausal transition and post-menopause in women with obesity or overweight. Methods: a systematic search using the Embase, Pubmed and Cochrane databases, and the following key-words: menopause/climacteric, quality of life, overweight/obesity. Nineteen papers that fulfilled the including criteria were found. Results: eighteen studies using generic health questionnaires (global quality of life) were identified, six of them were specific for menopause and one specific for obesity. Eleven studies used generic questionnaires, while only eight questionnaires were specific for menopause. Conclusion: there was no consensus in the literature about the use of quality of life questionnaires in women with overweight and obesity in climacterium, which makes de comparison and reproducibility of the results difficult. This is an alert about the need for standardization to better evaluate this specific population.
