Women's Anger Management Improves in Midlife, Study Finds
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Women become better at managing anger as they age, particularly during midlife—a period often marked by hormonal shifts and emotional challenges—a study found. The research, published in the journal Menopause, found that both chronological age and reproductive age play a key role in reducing various forms of anger in women between the ages of 35 and 55. The study analyzed data from more than 500 women and found that several forms of anger—including anger temperament (a general tendency to become angry), anger reactions (responses to specific provocations) and aggressive expression of anger—all significantly decreased with age. Researchers found that hostility also diminished over time. Close-up of a mature woman smiling with her eyes closed. Close-up of a mature woman smiling with her eyes closed. Jack Hollingsworth While previous research has focused primarily on depression during menopause, little has been known about how women experience other intense emotions, such as anger, through the transition. This new analysis fills that gap by examining how anger traits evolve across both time and reproductive stages. Notably, reproductive-aging stages had a similar impact. Women entering the late-reproductive stage and beyond showed marked reductions in these types of anger. The only anger measure unaffected by age was suppressed anger—that which is felt but not expressed. These findings suggest that as women move through midlife, they may gain greater emotional regulation and resilience—offering a more hopeful narrative around aging and emotional wellbeing. The emotional aspects of menopause have often been overlooked, despite their potential impact on both mental and physical health. Anger and hostility in midlife women have previously been linked to elevated blood pressure, heart disease, and even thicker artery walls—a predictor of atherosclerosis. Moreover, women experiencing high anger traits during the menopause transition have also been found to be more prone to severe depressive symptoms, especially those undergoing hormone therapy. "The mental health side of the menopause transition can have a significant effect on a woman's personal and professional life," said Dr. Monica Christmas—associate medical director for The Menopause Society, which published the study—in a statement. She continued, "Educating women about the possibility of mood changes during these vulnerable windows and actively managing symptoms can have a profound effect on overall quality of life and health." The study's authors call for further research into how anger plays out in women's day-to-day lives during midlife, especially as it relates to stress, caregiving, work and health. Such data could inform better emotional regulation strategies and anger management interventions tailored specifically to women. Do you have a tip on a health story that Newsweek should be covering?

EzLift Bed unveils the EZ Lift Sleep-to-Stand Bed, an adjustable bed for seniors designed to enhance safety, mobility, and independence with advanced features tailored for aging-in-place living. Clearwater, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - May 13, 2025) - EzLift Bed, a specialized provider of adaptive sleep solutions, today announced the launch of its innovative EZ Lift Sleep-to-Stand Bed, designed specifically to address the unique mobility challenges faced by older adults. This new line of adjustable beds for seniors combines cutting-edge technology with thoughtful design to enhance independence, safety, and quality of life for the growing senior population. EzLift Bed Launches Innovative Adjustable Beds for Seniors Promoting Independence and Mobility To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The announcement comes as the senior mobility aids market continues to expand, with particular demand for solutions that address daily challenges such as safely getting in and out of bed. Falls from beds among elderly individuals represent a significant health challenge, with studies showing that falls can lead to reduced independence, increased morbidity, and in severe instances, hospitalizations. Addressing Critical Mobility Challenges For millions of seniors, maintaining independence begins with the fundamental ability to safely get in and out of bed without assistance. Traditional beds often present significant obstacles for older adults with limited mobility, forcing many to rely on caregivers for basic movements and potentially accelerating the loss of independence. "Our research showed that existing products weren't adequately addressing the real-world challenges seniors face during bed transfers," said Jack Hollingsworth, CEO of EzLift Bed. "The EZ Lift Sleep-to-Stand Bed was developed specifically to fill this gap in the market by providing a solution that transforms a routine activity that many take for granted into a safe, dignified experience for seniors." The proprietary Sleep-to-Stand technology seamlessly transitions users from a lying position to a near-standing position with the simple press of a button, enabling seniors to exit and enter their beds with minimal physical exertion and significantly reduced fall risk. Advanced Features Designed for Senior Safety and Comfort The new line of lift beds incorporates several innovative features specifically engineered to meet the unique needs of older adults: Precision-controlled elevation system that raises users to an optimal position for safe standing Ergonomic support zones that adjust to individual body types and needs Programmable memory settings for personalized comfort preferences Integrated safety rails with soft-touch grips Anti-slip floor contacts for enhanced stability Emergency backup power system for peace of mind during outages Whisper-quiet operation to minimize sleep disruption Medical-grade materials that support proper weight distribution "We've designed what we believe are the best adjustable beds for seniors currently available on the market," explained Jack. "Each feature has been thoughtfully engineered based on extensive research into the physical challenges of aging and input from healthcare professionals specializing in geriatric care."

Recent surveys indicate that 84 percent of older Americans consider aging in place a priority, with 58 percent describing it as extremely important. "Most seniors overwhelmingly prefer to age in their own homes rather than transition to assisted living facilities," noted Jack. "Our adjustable beds enable older adults to maintain their independence longer, potentially delaying or even eliminating the need for institutional care in many cases."
