The MUscle Strengthening exercises and Estrogen replacement therapy Randomised Control Trial ( MUSE-RCT), a study that aims to reduce menopausal symptoms like joint pain and hot flushes, which are frequently linked to poor sleep, is being conducted by the IWHP.  ,
According to Prof. Yong, sleep disruption is increase the risk of anxiety and depression, and these mental health issues can reduce physical action, leading to decreased muscle strength and obesity.
This cumulative effect pattern creates a vicious sphere and a downward spiral toward poor health in the coming years, increasing the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and despair.
Members ARE READY TO SEE ANY PROFITS
The members have already seen some advantages of the studies conducted by IWHP, despite its intention to improve understanding of Singapore women’s health issues.
Sum Sui Cheng, 64, was given the opportunity to take part in IWHP while she was at the NUH Women’s Clinic. She explained to CNA Women that she was curious to learn more about bone mineral density and circulatory health at first.
Participating in the IWHP has made me more aware of the various health risks that people encounter as they get older. The physical and cognitive evaluations even serve as indicators of general well-being as we get older.
Wong Lilin, 62, consented to the study because she thought it would be helpful for both herself and another Singaporean girls to “understand health issues particular to us.”
She recalls that the investigation and bone scan revealed a number of deficiencies in her heart function. This made me more determined to take better care of myself, and not just my family and children.
Wong set out on a more in-depth investigation into the body, including nutrition, inflammation, medications, and health.
” I’m happy to say that I’m only taking one important medicines, taking the appropriate supplements to make up for what I lack, and relying solely on diet and sunlight to maintain bone health,” she said. I’m happy to have the chance to participate in this voyage.
