ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how social media affects body weight and eating habits in postmenopausal women, comparing those who work outside the home with those who are housewives. The goal is to understand whether heavy use of social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, WhatsApp, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer influences how these women manage their weight and eating behaviors.

To participate in this study, women must be between 50 and 60 years old and have not had a menstrual period for at least a year. They should also be regular users of social media. However, women with certain health conditions, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, diabetes, or those taking specific medications, will not be eligible. If chosen to participate, women can expect to share information about their social media use and how it relates to their eating and weight. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to provide valuable insights into the impact of social media in this group of women.
