Abstract

Physical activity (PA) has been found to mitigate negative health and psychological outcomes associated with menopause, but few studies have examined predictors of PA among women during their menopausal transition. We found that physical health, but not psychological well-being, predicted PA among all women, regardless of menopausal status.
