“…However, numerous studies show that their quality of life is worse at all levels and that they have poorer physical, psychological, and social wellbeing (Reimers, Knapp, & Reimers, 2012). This is not only due to socio-demographic factors, but also to the hormonal changes that women undergo during aging, associated with menopause, and which lead to physiological alterations in the cardiovascular system (Graziottin, Banerji, & Hall, 2019), in the lipid profile (Tuna et al, 2010), and in blood pressure (Wenger et al, 2018) or to a decrease in bone mineral density (Greendale et al, 2019), which often leads to osteopenia or osteoporosis (Ramezani Tehrani & Amiri, 2021).…”

Women have a longer life expectancy, but also a poorer quality of life due to the combined effects of aging and menopause. Among the most widely used non-pharmacological therapies that slow down the effects of these phenomena is resistance training. The aims of this narrative review were: 1) to analyze the strength in health parameters of middle-aged and older women; and 2) to provide a series of practical recommendations for resistance training for women. It was found that resistance training has been shown to prevent and/or treat chronic diseases, improve muscle strength, increase bone density, and reduce the risk of falls and fractures in older women. To conduct our search, we utilized various databases, including MedLine (Pubmed) and Cochrane (Wiley), searching for MeSH-compliant keywords such as: (strength training OR resistance training) AND (middle-aged women OR older women). Our search was limited to manuscripts published from April 1, 2013, to April 1, 2023, although some earlier studies were referenced to provide additional context in certain areas of the narrative review. The narrative review highlights that regular resistance training can help older women maintain independence and improve their overall quality of life. Additionally, the narrative review suggests that resistance training may also have beneficial effects on other health outcomes, such as cardiovascular health, function, and musculoskeletal health. Overall, the narrative review provides evidence to support the inclusion of resistance training in the exercise regimen of older women to promote healthy aging. This narrative review aims to provide information on the health benefits of resistance training on middle-aged and older women, and proposes a series of recommendations to promote its safe and effective practice, to help them enjoy healthy aging. Keywords: sarcopenia, functional independence; physical exercise; strength training, quality of life.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Sixty-six volunteers’ menopausal women participated on the study for 8 weeks, 35 subjects consumed daily cookies prepared mainly from soya flour and flaxseed, and 31 females consumed daily a blend composed mainly of raw unroasted peanut and raw sesame. Follow-up was performed with menopause rating scale, anxiety score, depression score, and biochemical parameters. RESULTS: Soya cookies were rich in plant-based protein and total phenols while blend was a good source of unsaturated fatty acid. Blend consumers showed significant percentage reduction in beck anxiety score and beck depression score after intervention, more than cookies consumers group. The anthropometrics parameters were statistical significant changed on both groups, more on the group who consumed the soya cookies. Soya cookies demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect, while blend had an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects as was shown on the serum assay of interleukin-6 and malondialdehyde as an inflammatory marker and an antioxidant marker, respectively.
