Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the influence of a supervised multicomponent exercise training program on menopause-related symptoms, particularly vasomotor symptoms (VMS), in middle-aged women.
Methods: A total of 112 middle-aged women (mean age 52 ± 4 y old, age range 45-60 y) from the FLAMENCO project (exercise [n = 59] and counseling [n = 53] groups) participated in this randomized controlled trial (perprotocol basis). The exercise group followed a multicomponent exercise program composed of 60-minute sessions 3 days per week for 16 weeks. The 15-item Cervantes Menopause and Health Subscale was used to assess the frequency of menopause-related symptoms.
Results: After adjusting for body mass index and Mediterranean diet adherence, the subscales measuring menopause-related symptoms and VMSs decreased 4.6 more in the exercise group compared to the counseling group (between-group differences [B]: 95% CI: -8.8 to -0.2; P = 0.040). The exercise group also showed significant improvements in the subscales of couple relationships (between-group differences [B]: -1.87: 95% CI: -3.29 to - 0.45; P = 0.010), psychological state (between-group differences [B]: -2.3: 95% CI: -5 to -0.2; P = 0.035), and VMSs (between-group differences [B]: -4.5: 95% CI: -8.8 to -0.2; p = 0.040) in the Cervantes Menopause and Health Subscale compared with the counseling group.
Conclusions: A 16-week multicomponent physical exercise program showed a positive effect on menopause- related symptoms especially in couple relationships, psychological state, and VMS, among 45 to 60 year old women.

Background: Obesity is increasing among Saudi adolescents, with rural females disproportionately underserved due to limited health education, sociocultural barriers, and scarce resources. While most school programs emphasize weight, global recommendations call for non-weight-centric approaches to avoid stigma. The Green Apple program is a school-based, weight-neutral intervention focusing on energy metabolism, nutrient balance, and dietary sources.

Department of Psychiatry, Samsung Medical Center, School of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and social communication disorder (SCD) are neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by deficits in social communication that hinder social adaptation, with limited pharmacological options for therapy owing to the absence of identified biomarkers. Individuals with ASD or SCD require lifelong interventions tailored to their development stages. However, most existing interventions primarily focus on early childhood, leaving adolescents relatively underserved.
