The drop estrogen levels accompanies cessation menstruation associated with multiple vasomotor, physical, neuropsychological, and sexual symptoms, which may hamper quality life. This study aimed to examine the severity psychological symptoms their correlates among peri- postmenopausal Emirati (N = 60, mean 54.88 ± 6 years). Participants were interviewed using Menopause-Specific Quality Life (MENQOL) attitudes toward menopause scale (ATMS). In four path analysis models, vasomotor weight gain, fatigue had significant direct effects on anxiety, depression (only gain fatigue), distress. Fatigue significantly mediated symptoms), distress, memory problems. These models explained 47.6%, 44.5%, 56.6%, 29.1% variances in depression, problems, respectively. more severe menopausal expressed negative though regression revealed only could contribute ATMS scores. conclusion, distress widespread women, it fatigue, change body composition (obesity).

Background: The potential positive interaction between intermittent fasting (IF) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on cognitive function has been widely discussed. This systematic review tried to assess the efficacy of interventions with different IF regimens BDNF levels their association functions in humans. Interventions forms such as caloric restriction (CR), alternate-day (ADF), time-restricted eating (TRE), Ramadan model (RIF) were targeted. Methods: A was conducted for experimental observational studies healthy people patients diseases published EMBASE, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar databases from January 2000 December 2023. We followed Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analysis statements (PRISMA) writing this review. Results: Sixteen research works metabolic disorders met inclusion criteria Five showed a significant increase after intervention, while five reported decrease levels, other six no changes due regimens. Moreover, examined RIF protocol, which, three reduction, two along an improvement RIF. Conclusions: current findings suggest that varying effects healthy, overweight/obese individuals conditions.
