“…Menopause is a natural process but accompanied with complex changes for women over 50 year-old; menopause, which is considered a turning point, may occur earlier in some women [ 37 , 38 ]. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated one billion women will be over 60 year-old by the year 2050, suggesting that more than one billion women will be at the postmenopausal status, which is becoming a worldwide concern in public health [ 39 ]. Peri- and post-menopausal women often show multiple menopausal signs and symptoms, among which the most common during menopausal transition are hot flushes, night sweats, recurrent fatigue, and even memory loss and mild depression [ 40 – 42 ].…”

BackgroundNatural menopause is always accompanied by specific signs and symptoms, suggesting physiological changes in this peoriod. However, no systematic study has assessed the changes at molecular level in the ovaries during the menopausal transition so far. This study integrated quantitative proteome and acetyl-proteome to comprehensively uncover the changes of ovarian protein and protein-acetylation profiles in this transitional period. The findings would provide novel insights into the biology of menopause and help relieve and treat the associated signs and symptoms, further improving the women’s health care.MethodsFreshly thawed ovarian tissue samples obtained from premenopausal and postmenopausal women were assessed with Tandem Mass Tags for the quantitative analysis of the global profile and acetyl-proteomes by 2-dimensional separation and LC–MS/MS.ResultsComprehensively, 4210 types of protein, with 3551 types quantifiable were detected. 3047 acetylated sites in 1583 types of protein with 2256 quantifiable in 1248 proteins were detected. By comparing the global and acetylated proteome profiles for postmenopausal women and premenopausal women, 151 types of proteins were found upregulated and 65 were downregulated, along with 23 acetylated sites upregulated and 220 sites downregulated. For Immune response, the complement and coagulation cascades plus the citrate cycle and cellular detoxification were found to be significantly enhanced, while the extracellular structure and matrix organization, ECM-receptor interactions plus the infections were markedly suppressed. In addition, the amino acids around the acetylated sites were enriched by motif analysis, which can help us uncover amino acid sequence and search for the specific target in the subsequent study.ConclusionGlobal and acetylated proteome Profiles in ovary differ between the premenopausal and postmenopausal groups. These proteomic-level changes may offer some potential biological markers to identify the pathological changes in ovary and help relieve and treat the associated signs and symptoms, and ultimately improve women’s health care.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12014-018-9214-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…In their study carried out with menopausal women, Patel and Kim et al also found that healthy lifestyle education had a positive effect on reducing the symptoms experienced by menopausal women and on increasing their awareness of menopause 38,39 . Rindner et al conducted a study with 131 menopausal women aged 45-55 years with the aim of reducing the menopausal symptoms in primary health care services, and found that group education for menopausal women was effective in reducing the menopausal symptoms 40 . As a result, it can be said that health promotion education for menopausal women is an effective way to reduce the somatic, psychological, and urogenital menopausal symptoms of women.…”

This study aimed to determine the effect of health-promoting lifestyle education given to menopausal women in accordance with Pender's Health Promoting Model (HPM) on reducing the menopausal symptoms. Materials and Methods: This study is a semiexperimental research with pre-test and post-test control groups. In the first stage of the study, Socio-demographic Information Form (SIF) and Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) were applied to 401 menopausal women to determine the severity of their menopausal symptoms. In the second phase of the study, women with intense menopausal symptoms were randomly divided into two groups. 32 menopausal women in initiative group and 32 menopausal women were in the control group. One group, the experimental group, received Health-Promoting Lifestyle Education (HPLE), while the other group was the control group. Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II), and Self-Efficacy Scale (SES) were applied as pretests in both groups. Health-promoting lifestyle education was given to the experimental group twice with a one-week break between the sessions and the sessions were completed in four weeks. Results: Statistically significant decreases were found in the total MRS scores and subdimension scores of the menopausal women in experimental group after the education. Conclusion: Health-promoting lifestyle education was found to be effective in reducing the severity of menopausal symptoms. Amaç: Bu çalışma menopozal dönemdeki kadınlara Pender'in Sağlığı Geliştirme modeli doğrultusunda uygulanan Sağlığı Geliştirme Eğitim ve Danışmanlık Programının menopozal belirtilerin giderilmesine etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışma ön test ve son test kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel bir araştırmadır. Çalışmanın ilk aşamasında, menopoz semptomlarının şiddetini belirlemek için 401 menopoz dönemindeki kadına Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu (SIF) ve Menopoz Semptomlarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği (MSDÖ) uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın ikinci aşamasında, yoğun menopoz semptomları olan kadınlar randomize olarak iki gruba ayrılmıştır. Deney grubu, Sağlığı Geliştirme Eğitim ve Danışmanlık Programı grubu, diğer grup ise kontrol grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. 32 menopozal kadın girişim, 32 menopozal kadın kontrol grubunda yer almıştır. Menopoz Derecelendirme Ölçeği (MSDÖ), Sağlıklı Yaşam Davranışları Ölçeği II (SYBDÖ II) ve Özetkililik-Yeterlilik Ölçeği her iki grupa da ön test olarak uygulanmıştır. Sağlığı Geliştirme Eğitim ve Danışmanlık Programı, deney grubuna iki kez birer hafta ara ile uygulanmış ve seanslar dört haftada tamamlanmıştır. Bulgular: Eğitimden sonra, deney grubundaki menopozdaki kadınların toplam MSDÖ skorları ve alt boyut puanlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir düşüş belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Sağlığı Geliştirme Eğitim ve Danışmanlık Programının menopoz belirtilerin şiddetini azaltmada etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.

“… 26 It is feasible to implement group education on menopause for women. 27 The use of group interventions to improve memory self-efficacy during menopause warrants continued evaluation. 28 The supportive measures, such as increasing the participation of the elderly in public life through proper preparations to join them and membership in peer groups can be effective too.…”

The purpose of this study was to review the Factors contributing to discomfort for menopausal women in workplace and the perceived effects of working conditions on menopausal symptoms, and to produce recommendations for managers and women. This study was a review article. We searched PubMed and Science Direct for articles related to menopause and workplace. Keywords included: menopause AND workplace OR occupational health or menopausal women AND managers. Because we aimed to update the literature following the 2011 review of menopause and workplace, only English-language articles published between 2011 and 2017 were included. This review showed that how managers could be help and awareness and what should be done for menopausal women in workplace by risk assessment. Many risk factors are contributing to discomfort for menopausal women in workplace and managers should be assessed them. Managers should be aware that menopausal transition causes difficulty for some women at work, then occupational health and safety and health promotion policies will be increasingly important. It may help inform the development of tailored occupational health policies and programs that cater for the needs of women as they transition through menopause in the workplace.
