Abstract

Indonesia is facing an aging society since the proportion of the elderly was almost 10% of the total population. This situation is reflected by the increasing total number of elderlies, dependency ratio, and life expectancy. Aim: This study aimed to describe the distribution of total score of mental health and activity daily life (ADL) among middle age and elderly in Indonesia. This study used pooled data from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 4 and wave 5. It was conducted in 2007 and 2014. The sample size of this study consisted of middle age (40 to 59 years old) and elderly (60 years old and up). Results: The findings of this study revealed that from 2007 to 2014, the total score of mental health problems was increasing, and also the total score of activity daily life (ADL). Middle age and elderly in Indonesia had an increased number of depressions, but the total majority of them had a higher ability to do daily activity life (ADL). According to an aging population that faced the Indonesian population, this study can describe the increasing number of depressed but increasing their ability of them to do daily activity life (ADL).

Abstract

Premenopause is a transitional phase marked by hormonal fluctuations that often trigger physical discomfort. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of aerobic exercise in reducing somatic symptoms among premenopausal women. A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design was conducted involving 58 women aged 40–55 years, selected through simple random sampling. The intervention group received aerobic exercise three times per week for eight weeks, while the control group received no intervention. Physical symptoms were assessed using the somatic domain of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Results showed a significantly greater reduction in somatic scores in the intervention group compared to the control group (mean difference −4.6 vs. −0.5; p < 0.001). Aerobic exercise demonstrated a large effect in alleviating hot flashes, joint and muscle pain, sleep disturbances, and cardiovascular-related complaints. In conclusion, aerobic exercise is an effective non-pharmacological strategy for reducing somatic symptoms during the premenopausal transition.
