Study links earlier menopausal changes at 46 with anxiety and depression symptoms

Researchers studied 2,632 women from a Finnish birth cohort to examine whether being classified as climacteric at age 46 was associated with anxiety, depression symptoms, and psychiatric medication purchases. Climacteric women had higher reported levels of some anxiety and depression symptoms than preclimacteric women, although this observational study cannot show that menopausal changes caused those symptoms.

New analysis finds combined aerobic and strength training is linked to better outcomes in coronary heart disease

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether combined aerobic and resistance training (CART) affects exercise capacity, muscle strength, health-related quality of life, and mortality in people with coronary heart disease (CHD). Compared with non-exercising usual care, the analysis found CART was associated with improvements in several fitness and strength measures and a reduction in mortality. Compared with aerobic-only training and resistance-only training, CART showed additional benefits for some outcomes in pooled results.
