Abstract:
Menopause, a natural biological phenomenon, is often accompanied by various physiological and psychosocial transformations
that can significantly influence an individual’s habitus, encompassing lifestyle, habits, and overall well-being. This article examines
how menopause, a biological phenomenon with cultural significance, is impacting the habitus of women in a socio-cultural
setting. The social spaces are “gendered,” as there are cultural constraints and restrictions in society. Drawing on a mixed-methods
approach, this study incorporates both quantitative surveys and qualitative methods to capture a comprehensive understanding of
the experiences of menopausal women in Kerala.
