This chapter highlights how gender-specific nutritional needs across the female lifespan are essential for preventing deficiencies, improving health outcomes, and reducing chronic disease risk, directly supporting SDG 3: Good Health and Well‑Being and SDG 5: Gender Equality.

This chapter aligns with SDG 3 – Good Health and Well‑Being and SDG 5 – Gender Equality by showing how nutraceuticals can enhance the prevention, treatment, and recurrence management of gynecologic cancers, thereby improving women’s health outcomes and addressing conditions that uniquely affect women.

This paper uses a Global Factor Local Projections model to show that unanticipated ENSO events increase global commodity price volatility, with climate change potentially intensifying these effects and causing heterogeneous impacts across commodities, underscoring the key role of international markets in adaptation.
Objectives: To examine metabolic differences in women with or at risk of metabolic syndrome across 3 age groups used as a proxy for menopausal stages: premenopausal (PreM, <45 years), menopausal transition (PeriM 45-55 years), and postmenopausal (PostM, >55 years). Methods: A total of 718 female subjects across 3 groups, PreM (n = 108, 15%), PeriM (n = 218, 30.4%), and PostM (n = 392, 54.6%), were included. Demographics, intakes of fruits, vegetables, and sugar-sweetened beverages, stress, and substance use were collected using self-reported surveys.
