Women in Action: A Multicomponent Intervention for Older Women (WIA)
"Women in Action": A Multicomponent Gender-Sensitive Intervention Combining Nutrition, Psychosocial Factors, and Strength Training in Perimenopausal, Menopausal, and Early-Aging Women-A Quasi-Experimental Study Protocol
"Women in Action" is a quasi-experimental, mixed-methods study evaluating a 16-week multicomponent intervention (supervised strength/aerobic/balance training plus psychoeducational and nutrition-focused behavioral workshops) for women aged 55-75 in perimenopause, menopause, and early ageing. The study will assess the feasibility, implementation fidelity, and acceptability of the program, together with its preliminary effects on a single primary outcome (handgrip strength) and secondary physical function, dietary, and psychosocial outcomes, compared with a passive control group receiving no intervention.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Participants will be allocated to an Intervention or Control group using a non-random, minimization-based procedure balancing key baseline characteristics (age, menopausal status, physical activity level, physical function, gender-related stereotype internalization, socioeconomic status, geographical context). The Intervention group receives supervised strength, aerobic, and balance training (2 sessions/week, 50-60 min, 16 weeks) plus 8 biweekly psychoeducational and nutrition-focused workshops (90 min each). Assessments occur at baseline (T0), mid-intervention (T1, week 8), post-intervention (T2, week 16), and 3-month follow-up (T3). The primary outcome is handgrip strength (T0 to T2 change). Secondary outcomes include the Short Physical Performance Battery, body composition (bioelectrical impedance analysis), Mediterranean diet adherence (MEDAS), a 3-day dietary record (energy and protein intake), and validated psychosocial instruments (personal agency/empowerment, physical self-concept, ageing- and exercise-related stereotypes, exercise self-efficacy). A qualitative strand (focus groups at T2 and T3) is integrated using a convergent parallel mixed-methods design. The primary analysis will use linear mixed-effects models under an intention-to-treat framework.
