Personalized use of minor food components in the menopause period

Abstract

In the Russian Federation, the number of women in peri- and postmenopause is more than 21 million [1]. In addition to changes in sex hormone levels associated with menopause, its timing is an important predictor of future health outcomes, such as the duration of vasomotor symptoms and the risk of developing hormone-dependent tumors. The influence of reproductive factors (e.g., age at menarche, pregnancy) and sociodemographic factors on intermediate and long-term health outcomes of menopause has been extensively studied in the past. However, the influence of a woman’s diet on the course of menopause has not been studied sufficiently. There is also little evidence in the literature on the impact of diet at a young age, the so-called established eating patterns, on the menopause course. The authors aim to study the actual nutrition of menopausal women with manifestations of climacteric syndrome and make an attempt to influence the quality of life and the manifestation of menopausal syndrome with the help of lifestyle correction, diet modification and the use of minor biologically active substances. The aim was also to determine the features of the diet of women of reproductive age (to determine the excess and lack of nutrients) in order to create an algorithm for correcting the diet and preventing delayed risk factors.
