On the occasion of World Menopause Day, an Ifop study carried out among women over 50 reveals the most common physical complex among menopausal women.
There menopause is a crucial stage in women’s lives which is marked by a whole host of upheavals, and not just a hormonal upheaval, because the latter affects daily life in multiple ways. Weight gain, sleep problems, irritability, hot flashes, but also menopausal acne and chin hair… It is sometimes also difficult to have beautiful skin after 50, to maintain your figure and to feel good in his head even if we don’t yet talk about it enough. On the occasion of the World Menopause Day, this Wednesday, October 18, we learn a little more about how the women over 50 live this period thanks to study conducted by Ifop with more than 1,000 French women aged over 50, at the request of the parapharmaceutical site Humasana and the agency specializing in data Flashes.
THE results of this study, published on the online drugstore website, indicate that 28% of French women over 50 are dissatisfied with the image that society reflects on them (compared to only 17% in 2007). There are therefore clearly efforts to be made in the representation of this category of women, who are therefore becoming more and more complex. And if 46% of fifty-year-olds are afraid of getting old and 23% of them fear doing more than their age, wrinkles and white hair are, surprisingly, not their number one physical problem. This title is rather awarded to a very specific part of their body: their belly.

The Ifop study is not the first to highlight this physical complex among French women. A study carried out by Lalalab (a photo printing service), in collaboration with OpinionWay (one of the first institutes to do its surveys online), had already put its finger on this physical complex which is the most widespread of all among French women of all ages. It is clear that menopause does not help matters, and for good reason, it has led to weight gain in three quarters (75%) of the French women questioned by Ifop for this study, and we know that the kilos Too much is often stored in the abdominal area. But other areas of the body are also very complex for menopausal women: the armTHE face and the thighs.
