Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Menopause Status and Physical Function

26 observational studies were analyzed in this systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the association between menopausal status and physical function. The work was authored by Pedro R. S. Macêdo and last updated in April 2026. It aggregates findings from databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, SciELO, LILACS, and Web of Science.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between menopausal transition and handgrip strength based on meta-analysis results
• Investigating differences in physical function (e.g., knee extension, balance) between pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal women
• Comparing the effects of natural versus surgical menopause on physical performance metrics
• Assessing the influence of socioeconomic context on menopause-related physical function decline

Strengths

• Analysis is based on 26 included studies, following PRISMA guidelines and registered in PROSPERO
• Meta-analysis includes both unadjusted results and results adjusted for covariates like age
• Findings are compared across different socioeconomic contexts

Limitations

• The primary data files are in JPG and DOCX formats, which are not typical for structured data analysis
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment
• The dataset is a review article (2.4 MB), not a primary data collection
