Video Author: Kirsten Dickins
Published on: 01.07.2021
Associated with: Menopause. 28(1):86-92, January 2021

Kirsten Dickins, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Yvonne L. Munn Center for Nursing Research at Massachusetts General Hospital discusses findings from her brief report: “Behavioral and psychological health inequities in income disparate perimenopausal women”, which describes stark differences between income disparate and non-income disparate perimenopausal women in behavioral health (smoking, substance use history, BMI, exercise) and psychological health characteristics (depressed mood, anxiety, sleep). Next directions for clinicians and researchers invested in addressing disparities in peri- and postmenopausal women are discussed.

Female Reproductive Health and Cognitive Function
Creator: Chia-Kuang Tsai
Duration: 3:47
This study highlighted the correlation between number of pregnancies and cognitive malfunction in postmenopausal females. Women with more pregnancies had poorer cognitive performance, especially those who had their last pregnancy after 28 years of age and less than 12 years of education. Giving birth early in life and adequate education may be beneficial to prevent or delay cognitive impairment.

Maternal age at last birth and leukocyte telomere length in a nationally representative population of peri- and postmenopausal women: Understanding long-term health
Creator: Chase Latour
Duration: 3:08
This video provides an introduction to our study “Maternal age at last birth and leukocyte telomere length in a nationally representative population of peri- and postmenopausal women.” We highlight what our study accomplishes in the context of current research regarding reproductive health decisions, telomeres, and long-term health. Specifically, our data indicate that the association between later age at last birth and longer telomere length is robust to study population. We then go on suggest that future studies consider answering these types of questions in prospective data so that we can begin to disentangle causal mechanisms that could be leading to this association.

Improving the Identification of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause through the Utilization of the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging Questionnaire
Creator: Jennie Mastroianni, DNP
Duration: 5:18
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affects nearly 50% of postmenopausal women. Yet, it is a problem that is difficult for both providers and patients to discuss—particularly the impact of GSM symptoms on a women’s daily activities. This quality improvement project implemented the Day-to-Day Impact of Vaginal Aging (DIVA) questionnaire to improve the identification and diagnosis of GSM. Our findings support the use of the DIVA questionnaire as an efficient tool in a busy women’s health practice setting to facilitate GSM identification and diagnosis.
