The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted the role of biological factors, such as age, sex, and comorbidities, in determining disease severity. Menopause-related changes, including estrogen decline, may increase the severity of symptoms in women, particularly with comorbidities like cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. This study aims to explore the relationship between the severity of Covid-19 symptoms and menopause-related comorbidities and assess their impact on symptom intensity and recovery duration in menopausal women. A retrospective study was conducted with 50 menopausal women in Nador, Morocco, who had contracted Covid-19. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed using SPSS software. Associations between comorbidities and symptom severity were assessed using Chi-Square tests, and recovery times were compared using t-tests. Cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and high blood pressure were significantly associated with more intense Covid-19 symptoms. Menopausal women with cardiovascular diseases had longer recovery times compared to those without. Obesity showed borderline significance for symptom intensity and recovery time. Comorbidities like cardiovascular disease and diabetes are linked to more severe Covid-19 symptoms and prolonged recovery times in menopausal women. These findings underline the importance of managing comorbid conditions in this population to improve health outcomes.

Background: Menopause and its consequences, sometimes complex, can generate discomfort in well-being and consequently affect the quality of women’s lives. Objective: The present study was carried out to examine the quality of life of menopausal women in the North-East of Morocco. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of anthropometric changes in corpulence, weight gain, and abdominal obesity on the self-esteem of menopausal women and to explore how these changes may increase the risk of psychological problems. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 199 women aged 40–59 years. Participants completed a questionnaire about their lifestyle, feelings, and psychological experiences alongside undergoing anthropometric measurements. Results: The study found that over 70% of women in this region experienced weight gain, increased body fat, and abdominal obesity. However, despite these physical changes, the analysis revealed that body image and self-esteem were not significantly negatively impacted, and women did not report notable psychological distress related to these changes. Conclusion: The findings suggest that despite physical changes such as weight gain and abdominal obesity, menopausal women may not experience significant negative effects on their self-esteem or body image.
