A simple community program has been shown to be effective in preventing excess weight gain among young mothers. Women who attended the HeLP-her Community Lifestyle Program lost an average of 0.27kg over 12 months, while those in a control group gained 1.72kg.
A study by Associate Professor Lily Stojanovska investigates the mechanisms of resilience in menopausal women, revealing three significant themes: coping with life's challenges, displaying resilience or not, and searching for tools to cope. The findings support education guidelines for improving women's resilience during menopause.
A study of 1423 women aged 18-75 reveals that DHEAS, total testosterone, and free testosterone levels decline sharply in the early reproductive years. In contrast, androgen levels do not change during natural menopause. The findings highlight the importance of understanding hormone levels in women across all ages.
Researchers found a strong correlation between low DHEAS levels and reduced desire, arousal, and responsiveness in women under 45. The study suggests that low DHEAS may be a more accurate indicator of low libido than testosterone levels.
