Summary

This study will test the effects of a physical activity intervention among midlife Hispanic women.

Detailed description

The menopausal transition in midlife is a critical juncture where women experience life transitions and adverse physiological and psychological changes that increase the risk for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in later life. Physical activity improves blood pressure, biomarkers of hypertension, sleep, mood, and well-being; however, Hispanic women meet physical activity recommendations at lower levels than non-Hispanic White women. The investigator will examine the feasibility of the physical activity intervention among sedentary midlife Hispanic women in the menopausal transition with elevated blood pressure, exploring changes in physical activity and health.
