description

The implementation of lifestyle is a most cost-effective approach to the management of menopause. Physical activity, for example, may be an appropriate measure to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and other non-communicable diseases affected by menopause. The difficulty with physical activity and other lifestyle measures is often the poor long-term adherence. There are several studies addressing the issue and describing the main variables that impact adherence. Both changes in the strategy, activity program, or even behavioural changes supported by psychological techniques, have been demonstrated to have an impact, though still limited.
