摘要

The Stages of Reproductive Aging Workshop (STRAW) + 10 extend from menarche till the end of the lifespan. Much attention has been traditionally given to issues related with the reproductive period, including obstetrical care, contraception, or fertility, while the years around menopause have concentrated attention on the menopausal transition and the early postmenopause. Clinical symptoms and the associated risk to noncommunicable diseases have supported this interest. When considering a more encompassing scope, which extends not only to biological but also to psychological and social changes, the consideration of an age interval, which extends between 40 and 60 years, integrates a broader group of domains. This more comprehensive view has been demanded by the own women, who also request a more participative role. Consequently, the empowerment of women is becoming a new character in the scenario, with a growing share. One important measure to keep and promote health is lifestyle. Empowerment is crucial for lifestyle, since the commitment of the individual is required. Adherence is the most important barrier to maintain healthy lifestyle in the long run. Digital technology, with an easy access to Internet, has been proposed as a very cost-effective enabler with a global reach. Modern smartphones represent easy-to-use devices with a high potential, although experience is still short.
