A Comparative Study of Health-related Fitness between Urban and Rural Postmenopausal Women – A Review

Abstract Background: Health-related fitness plays a pivotal role in improving the quality of life for postmenopausal women, yet significant disparities exist between urban and rural populations. Menopause signifies a pivotal transition in a woman's life, typically between the ages of 45 and 55, marking the end of menstrual cycles and the onset of various physiological changes that can significantly impact a woman's quality of life, making the maintenance of physical fitness particularly crucial during this stage. Aim: This review compares selected physical fitness parameters between urban and rural postmenopausal women. Methods: Extensive searches of electronic databases from Google Scholar, PubMed, PEDro, and Cochrane Library were performed between 2018 and 2024 to identify the relevant studies. Seven studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria for this review. Results and Conclusion: The findings reveal that urban women often suffer from obesity and metabolic disorders due to calorie-dense diets. In contrast, rural women are more prone to nutritional deficiencies and limited healthcare access. Rural women often demonstrate better cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength due to their labor-intensive routines, whereas urban women, despite better access to fitness facilities, face challenges stemming from sedentary lifestyles and high stress levels, adversely impacting their overall fitness levels.
