Exploring Menstrual Cycle Effects of Antecedents on Physical Activity and Diet: A Systematic Scoping Review Physical activity (PA) and diet fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle. Yet, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. This systematic scoping review aimed to (1) provide a critical assessment of the methodologies, identify (2) relevant predictors of PA and diet throughout the cycle based on the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and (3) knowledge gaps. PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science were searched from inception until September 2024. Peer-reviewed English publications were included if they reported on PA or diet and TDF constructs in relation to the menstrual cycle in biological female populations of reproductive age currently not suffering from conditions impairing PA or diet. Of 9,247 screened records, 36 were included, comprising 28 primary studies and 9 reviews. The TDF component of emotions was the most explored in both diet and PA studies, although the latter investigated a broader range of constructs (e.g., social influences, attention). The menstrual phase, pain and bleeding impaired PA and performance. The results on diet remained inconclusive. Small samples, cross-sectional designs, heterogeneity of menstrual cycle assessments and a lack of explicit sex-based recruitment limit generalizability. Gaps include several TDF constructs (e.g., self-efficacy). Longitudinal designs and objective assessments of the menstrual cycle and behaviours in larger heterogeneous samples are needed.
Are there (psycho-social) determinants that explain why physical activity and diet fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle? #HPGVienna PhD student Lucia Volpi explores this question in our latest systematic scoping review - preprint now available: doi.org/10.31234/osf...

Screenshot of the abstract of paper "Nutri-Score and Nutrition Warning Labels Are Effective in Guiding Hypothetical Choice in Indonesia, Mexico, and Türkiye: Results from a Cross-Country Online Experiment" Background: Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labeling (FOPNL) is a promising public health measure to promote healthier food choices in the population. The present study tested the impact of the Nutri-Score and warning labels on purchasing intentions and product perceptions in Indonesia and Türkiye, where no FOPNL system is currently in place, and Mexico, where warning labels are mandatory since October 2020. Method: Adult participants (N = 639; nIndonesia = 212, nMexico = 203, nTürkiye = 224) were randomly assigned to viewing eight product pairs (chips, instant noodles, meats, condiments, sweet spreads, cookies, yoghurt, fruit drinks) with either no label, a Nutri-Score, or warning labels, and indicated which product (or neither) they would rather buy, and which product was healthier, contained more calories, sugar, saturated fat, and sodium. Results: Nutri-Score influenced purchasing intentions for four categories; warning labels only for one. Overall, Nutri-Score was somewhat more effective in guiding consumers to identify healthier choices and products higher in nutrients that should be consumed in moderation compared to the warning labels, although effects varied substantially between product categories and nutrients. Conclusion: Both Nutri-Score and warning labels potentially promote healthier food choices, with Nutri-Score producing somewhat larger and more consistent effects. More research is needed on potential negative consequences of labels and the conditions under which they might appear to maximize public health benefit.
The Nutri-Score is more helpful in guiding healthier food choices in Indonesia, Mexico and Türkiye than health warning labels, our new #HPGVienna @univie.ac.at @unibayreuth.bsky.social study suggests. Yet, Nutri-Score may also lead to health halos that need more attention!

Lucia Volpi presenting her work
#HPGVienna PhD student Lucia Volpi just presented the first results of her thesis at #ICBM2025, showing that symptoms fluctuate across the menstrual cycle and between people. This calls for more detailed assessments in research. Preprint: osf.io/q32nf_v1
It's already the final day of ##ICBM2025 😱 🥲 but #HPGVienna has one more highlight for you: PhD student Lucia Volpi will present results from her 1st PhD study on symptoms and related distress throughout the menstrual cycle this afternoon in HS05. #WomensHealth #MenstrualHealth
