University of Coimbra creates program to help women deal with menopause

Notícias de Coimbra15 September 2026 at 10:18

The University of Coimbra has created a program dedicated to supporting women through the menopause transition. The initiative aims to address the physical and emotional challenges that this stage brings to women's lives.

The program is developed by a team of specialists from the institution who seek to provide appropriate support and resources tailored to participants' needs. The approach aims to address both physical symptoms and women's emotional well-being.

This University of Coimbra initiative emerges in the context of growing attention to women's health, recognizing menopause as an important phase that requires specialized support and adequate care.

Why this matters

Women in Portugal often face menopause without adequate specialized support. This University of Coimbra program offers an academic and scientific response to a women's health need that affects half the population, potentially influencing medical practices and health policies in the region.

Four in ten small mammals are climate specialists

An international study published in Nature Communications, with Portuguese participation from the University of Porto, revealed that approximately 40% of the 4,231 small mammal species analyzed globally are climate specialists, meaning they are restricted to specific climate zones such as tropical, dry, temperate, continental, or polar. Half of these species are super-specialists, confined to particular climatic subzones. Specialization is more frequent among rodents and may represent increased vulnerability to rapid climate change, with researchers now intending to investigate whether this vulnerability varies among groups or regions.
