ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate nutritional strategies and their influence on symptoms and changes resulting from climacteric and menopause, analyzing the interventions with the best results and identifying the limitations present in the studies. Methods: This is a literature review conducted using articles retrieved from the PubMed database and published between 2014 and 2024, with no language restrictions, focusing on nutritional interventions related to climacteric symptoms and changes. Duplicate, review, and meta-analysis articles, as well as those unrelated to the research, were excluded. Results: All the articles found (eight) indicated positive outcomes. Soy supplementation or the inclusion of other dietary sources of phytoestrogens provided benefits in reducing vasomotor symptoms and contributed to improvements in women’s body composition. The consumption of dark chocolate was associated with a slight improvement in perceived quality of life. Conclusion: Despite the limitations of the analyzed studies, such as small sample sizes and short follow-up periods, this study reinforces the importance of adequate nutritional interventions during the menopausal period, aiming to improve symptoms and promote health.
Descriptors: menopause; diet; nutrition; climacteric; women's health.
