This study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the quality of life of women over 10 years after menopause using data from 2014 to 2019 of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The subjects were 6,330. The data were analyzed by frequency analysis, t-test and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 25. As a result of the study, the factors affecting the health-related quality of life of women 10 years after menopause were age(F=30.625, p<.001), educational level(F=20.106, p<.001), perceived health status(F=187.925, p<.001, activity limitation(t=201.051, p<.001), arthritis(t=91.131, p<.001), osteoporosis(t=4.709, p=.030), hand grip strength(t=22.151, p<.001), perceived stress(F=32.775, p<.001), and depression(t=20.117, p<.001). The factors accounted for 35.1%(F=110.393, p<.001). In order to improve the quality of life of postmenopausal women, it is necessary to continuously evaluate and improve the factors affecting the quality of life from the early menopause.

This study assessed the effects of soy isoflavones supplementation with exercise on urinary mineral (calcium, magnesium, copper, zinc) excretion as an index of bone resorption rates in 67 postmenopausal women. A total subjects were assigned to Isoflavone (90 mg/day) or placebo groups. These groups were further divided into groups that undergone a regular exercise or a rather sedentary state performing daily activity only. We conducted study eight week period. Result showed urinary zinc excretion was more significantly decreased in the isoflavone-sedentary group ($-180.76\;{\pm}\;171.30\;ug/day$) than in the placebo-sedentary group ($-31.23\;{\pm}\;146.60\;ug/day$), placebo-exercise group ($40.93\;{\pm}\;193.44\;ug/day$) and isoflavione-exercise group ($-1.21\;{\pm}\;160.61\;ug/day$) (p < 0.05), but no significant changes in the differences between the values of the pre and post study values in urinary calcium, magnesium and copper excretion. These results suggest that Isoflavone supplementation decrease urinary zinc excretion rate in postmenopausal subjects.

This study retrospectively analyzed the test results of 113 healthy postmenopausal women without special diseases among patients who visited a medical institution in Busan from January 2020 to June 2021. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of BMI (Body Mass Index) on bone density in menopause women, the analysis of the lumbar and femur of patients with low weight (BMI<18.5) showed a significant probability (p-value) of 0.000, and the normal weight (18.5≦BMI<23.0) of the femur. In overweight (23.0≦BMI<25.0), the significance probability (p-value) of the lumbar region was 0.021 and the significance probability (p-value) of the femur was 0.034, confirming the correlation. However, in patients with high obesity (30.0≦BMI<40.0), the p-value of the lumbar region was 0.127, and the p-value of the femur was 0.093, indicating that there was no correlation between BMI and bone density.
