The Science of Being Social
03/05/2025

This study explores how social activity affects the health of women going through menopause.

Researchers focused on women aged 50–64 and compared those who participated in formal social groups, like the University of the Third Age (U3A), to those who did not. The goal was to see whether being socially active had any impact on their physical and mental well-being.

The findings suggest that women involved in structured social activities reported better overall health. They were more physically active and experienced fewer menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and mood swings. They also had lower levels of depression compared to women who did not engage in such activities.

The study highlights the importance of social connections during menopause. Having a strong social network and participating in group activities can help improve both physical and mental health. This research suggests that encouraging social engagement could be a simple and effective way to support women during this stage of life.
