Moving Through Menopause

SAMH commissioned this essential research to better understand how menopause affects women's relationships with both physical activity and mental wellbeing.

The experiences of women who took part in this project highlighted menopause was a barrier to being active, with 57% of women reporting a decrease in activity levels, and 94% reporting a change in mood, such as low mood, anxiety, mood swings or low self-esteem.

Includes recommendations to support women to be active during the menopause.
