OBJECTIVE: This study examined the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD), menopausal symptoms, quality of life, and cardiovascular disease risk awareness in women.
METHODS: Data were collected from Türkiye women at premenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal stages (n = 702) through face-to-face interviews using a sociodemographic form, the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MEDAS), Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), Kupperman Index (KI), Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL), and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Assessment Questionnaire (CDRAAQ). Correlation and regression analyses were performed (P < 0.05).
RESULTS: The mean age was 52.2 ± 8.3 years, with a mean Body Mass Index (BMI) of 26.5 ± 4.6 kg/m². Women with higher MD adherence had significantly lower BMI (P = 0.036). Greater adherence was associated with fewer psychological complaints (P = 0.019), lower KI scores (P = 0.041), and higher cardiovascular disease risk awareness (P = 0.001). Regression analyses showed that each one-point increase in MEDAS predicted reductions in BMI, psychological and total MRS scores, and KI scores, as well as increases in cardiovascular risk awareness (P < 0.001). No significant associations were found for somatic or urogenital symptoms, and MENQOL-heart attack/stroke risk.
CONCLUSIONS: Higher adherence to MD was linked to lower BMI, milder menopausal symptoms, and improved awareness of cardiovascular risk, highlighting its potential role in promoting women's health during menopause.
