Summary
This observational study will follow 200 women aged 45 to 60 to understand how muscle strength, bone density, body composition, physical activity, sleep, mood, and menopause symptoms relate to overall functional health. Participants will undergo simple strength tests, bone scans, and fill out questionnaires. The goal is to identify which factors most influence a woman's ability to stay active and independent during midlife.
