Biological aging significantly affects middle-aged women, influencing both their bodies and self-perception, often conflicting with societal norms that emphasize youthfulness.
A study involving 240 women in Mexico City examined their Self-perception of Aging (SPA) and its correlation with Quality of Life (QoL), revealing that 7% had a negative SPA.
The research found a significant connection between negative SPA and lower QoL, particularly affecting psychological and social well-being during various stages of reproductive aging.
