Systematic Review

Exercise and Education Help Manage Perimenopause Symptoms

A systematic review of 25 RCTs found that both exercise interventions and health education programs offer meaningful benefits in managing perimenopausal symptoms, though large between-study variances make it difficult to establish definitive evidence-based guidelines. The review highlights a notable gap in diet-only intervention research and calls for more rigorous, high-quality trials to determine optimal lifestyle prescriptions for the menopausal transition.
