AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Recent studies suggest that energy and cognitive and physical complaints such as fatigue, disrupted sleep, concentration problems, and pain are more problematic than clinical depression during the climacteric and may contribute to depressed mood. Central nervous system pathways that mediate mood, cognition, and energy are influenced by fluctuations of circulating estrogen during perimenopause. Symptoms are also influenced by other factors, including psychosocial and environmental stresses and supports. Health care for women from perimenopause to postmenopause should include an accurate assessment of energy and cognitive, physical, and emotional symptoms. Multidisciplinary approaches that combine prevention, symptom management, and health promotion are most effective for women. A mind/body program for perimenopause and menopause is presented as an example of a comprehensive treatment approach for assessment and management of perimenopause and menopause. This 10-week group program combined information, self-education, relaxation training, group support, lifestyle modification, and psychological coping skills.

Background: Although sleep duration and sleep-related breathing disorders were associated with dementia previously, few studies examined the association between circadian rhythm association and cognitive status.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the association of rest and activity rhythm with cognitive performance in older people with cognitive complaints and less education.
Methods: Activity rhythm was evaluated with wrist actigraphy in 109 community-dwelling older people with cognitive complaints without diagnosed dementia.

In recent years, the increasing life expectancy has underscored the importance of cognitive health alongside physical well-being, particularly because healthy adults may report subjective cognitive complaints (SCC), often related to memory. These complaints may or may not align with objective cognitive impairments, fueling ongoing debates about whether SCC could serve as an early indicator of dementia. While some studies suggest SCC as a potential precursor to dementia, others propose that these complaints may merely co-occur with cognitive decline.
