      Women before and after Menopause.

AB  - The study aims at elucidating the association between sustainable exercise and 
      its influence on self-efficacy and life satisfaction in women during their 
      premenopausal and postmenopausal stages. A relational screening model was 
      employed on a sample of 422 women, with 215 premenopausal and 207 postmenopausal 
      participants, utilizing convenience sampling. Participants' regularity of 
      exercise and its duration was taken into consideration. Evaluation tools included 
      the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) and the Satisfaction with Life Scale 
      (SWLS). Data were analyzed using a statistical software package with significance 
      set at 0.05. Sustainable exercise demonstrated no significant difference in SWLS 
      or GSES subdimensions among premenopausal women. However, postmenopausal women 
      engaging in regular exercise reported significantly higher scores in SWLS and all 
      GSES subdimensions. Moreover, positive correlations between age and SWLS scores, 
      as well as between age and certain GSES subdimensions, were found in both pre- 
      and postmenopausal periods. While sustainable exercise does not evidently impact 
      the life satisfaction and self-efficacy of premenopausal women, it significantly 
      enhances these parameters in postmenopausal women. Additionally, age appears to 
      influence life satisfaction and specific self-efficacy subdimensions across both 
      phases.
