Physical activity and menopausal symptoms: evaluating the contribution of obesity, fitness, and ambient air pollution status
Original language description
Objective The menopausal transition is accompanied by transient symptoms that have been linked to subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD); CVD has also been linked to air pollution. Physical activity (PA) reduces CVD, improves body composition, and can reduce menopausal symptoms. The purpose of this study was to assess the links between PA and menopausal symptoms and whether obesity, fitness, and air pollution status play a role in this relationship. Method Women (40-60 y; N = 243; mean [SD] age, 47.8 [5.6] y) from areas with high versus low air pollution enrolled in the Healthy Aging in Industrial Environment Program 4 prospective cohort study completed psychological, cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and menopausal status screening followed by a 14-day prospective assessment of menopausal symptoms (Menopause Rating Scale) using a mobile application. Daily PA was assessed objectively across 14 days via Fitbit Charge 3 monitor. General linear mixed models were conducted and controlled for age, menopausal status, day in the study, wear time, and neuroticism. Results Peri/postmenopausal women (β = 0.43, P<0.001) and those residing in a high-air-pollution environment (β = 0.45, P< 0.05) reported more somatovegetative symptoms. Hot flashes alone were associated with peri/postmenopausal status (<jats:italic toggle="yes">β</jats:italic> = 0.45, <jats:italic toggle="yes">P</jats:italic> < 0.001), and for women residing in a high-air-pollution environment, lower reporting of hot flashes was observed on days when a woman was more physically active than usual (β= −0.15, P<0.001). No associations were found for cardiorespiratory fitness and visceral fat with any of the symptoms. Conclusions PA may enhance resilience to hot flashes, especially when residing in high-air-pollution environments where we also observed higher reporting of somatovegetative menopausal symptoms.
