Abstract
PurposeTo explore the impact of different intervention methods on physical health indexes of perimenopausal women.MethodsSeventy-eight perimenopausal women were divided into three groups. Group A received routine gynecological diagnosis and treatment and participated in centralized lifestyle health education. Group B was required to participate in all intensive education content, and professional dietitians gave individualized dietary guidance. Group C received intensive education, individualized diet intervention and intensified resistance exercise. Dietary scores, exercise habits, waist circumference, body mass index, fat and muscle mass were observed after three months.ResultsAfter the intervention, the total diet score of group C was higher than groups A and B, and the red meat score was significantly reduced. The number of patients in groups B and C who exercised >3 times per week and the number of resistance exercises were significantly increased, while the number of aerobic exercises per week in group C was significantly increased. The body fat and waist circumference were significantly reduced, and skeletal muscle weight was significantly increased. Body mass index, trunk fat ratio and waist-to-hip ratio were significantly decreased in groups B and C, while trunk muscle was significantly increased in group C.ConclusionThe combined intervention of the three methods can give full play to the synergistic effect of various interventions. The improvement effect of increasing the appropriate amount of resistance exercise is more obvious, which is worthy of further promotion and application.
Highlights
The perimenopausal period refers to the first signs of ovarian function decline until one year after the last menstruation in women
Exclusion criteria: x having taken drugs for weight loss treatment within three months; y having suffered from myocardial infarction, unstable cardiovascular disease or other diseases in the past three months; z chronic renal insufficiency or renal failure; { patients with diabetes on insulin treatment; 5 patients with upper or lower limb fractures or other exercise contraindications in the past three months; 6 neuromuscular diseases or taking drugs that affect neuromuscular function; 7 taking drugs that include hormone replacement medication or other drugs that could affect body composition
Foreign studies have shown that it has a beneficial effect on blood lipids, diabetes, gestational diabetes and cardiovascular disease [12,13,14]
Summary
The perimenopausal period refers to the first signs of ovarian function decline until one year after the last menstruation in women. It refers to the transitional period from maturity to old age in women. Zhu’s study found that diet and exercise therapy for obese postmenopausal women can significantly improve blood lipid levels, improve insulin resistance, reduce plasma insulin levels and effectively prevent type 2 diabetes [4]. The purpose of this study is to explore the dietary and/or exercise intervention for perimenopausal women, explore the impact of different intervention methods on their physical health indicators and provide a valuable reference for their physical conditioning
