Prevalence of Menopause-associated Symptoms Throughout the Menopausal Transition in Women Aged 40 to 70 Residing in Spain and Its Relationship With Physical Activity - MdH Study

The goal of this observational study is to learn about menopause-related symptoms in women aged 40 to 70 years who live in Spain. The study will also look at whether physical activity, body weight, health history, social factors, and risk of osteoporotic fracture are linked to these symptoms. Menopause-related symptoms can affect daily life, sleep, mood, sexual health, and physical well-being. These symptoms may be different depending on whether a woman is in premenopause, perimenopause, or postmenopause. This study aims to better understand these symptoms in women living in Spain and to explore whether women who are more physically active report fewer or less bothersome symptoms. The main questions this study aims to answer are: How common are menopause-related symptoms in women aged 40 to 70 years who live in Spain? Do symptoms differ between women in premenopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause? Are women with higher levels of physical activity less likely to report bothersome menopause-related symptoms? Are body weight, age, health history, social factors, or osteoporotic fracture risk linked to more bothersome symptoms? Can the study identify groups of women who may be more likely to have a higher symptom burden? Participants will complete an online survey one time. The survey will take about 15 to 25 minutes. Participants will answer questions about: Age, place of residence, education, work situation, and other personal information Weight and height Menstrual history and reproductive history Current menopause stage Health history and current treatments Tobacco and alcohol use Type, amount, and setting of physical activity Time spent sitting Menopause-related symptoms during the last month Factors related to osteoporotic fracture risk, such as previous fractures, family history of hip fracture, smoking, alcohol use, use of corticosteroids, rheumatoid arthritis, and other health conditions The survey will include three standard questionnaires.
