Excerpt (quantitative measures omitted for simplicity)

“Meta-analysis demonstrated significant positive effects of dance intervention on psychological symptoms, including depression, anxiety, vitality, interpersonal relationships and somatisation in menopausal women.

Dance interventions have significant positive effects on health-related outcomes in perimenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal women, except for psychotic symptoms, offering a promising intervention option for clinical practice.“
