Aim: We aimed to reveal the relationship of meditation with emotional intelligence (EI), sleep quality and melatonin level.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Methods: Our current research was performed on middle-aged women.
Owing to hormonal changes, women experience various psychophysiological alterations over a wide age range, which may result in decreased quality of life as well as in increased risks of diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases. Although studies have been performed to research complementary methods, such as meditation, the research field still requires an adequate amount of studies for public health guidelines. This pilot cross-sectional study aims to investigate a potential association of meditation with menopausal symptoms and blood chemistry for healthy women.
