What the research found
Meeting presentation, not a journal paper. The Menopause Society said on 14 Oct 2026 that a Flo Health analysis will be presented 20–24 Oct 2026 in San Diego. More than 1,800 respondents in 87 countries reported activity from none to more than five days a week and completed a Menopause Rating Scale. In the unadjusted comparison, higher activity frequency lined up with lower total scores across somatic, psychological, and urogenital domains. The presenting author said the pattern looked strongest for low mood, irritability, and anxiety. Age, body mass index, smoking, other illnesses, healthcare access, and a country development index were planned as confounders; the release does not give the adjusted numbers. Self-report from an app is not a trial. Not medical advice.
