Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of exercise-based interventions and mind-body therapies on quality of life, menopausal symptoms, and depression among Asian perimenopausal women. Design: A systematic review, meta-analysis, and synthesis without meta-analysis (SWiM). Data sources: Six electronic databases were systematically searched: PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, Scopus, and ProQuest. Review methods: The point of inception of each database to 15 November 2018 were systematically searched. A meta-analysis and SWiM were used to present the results. Review Manager 5.3 and The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool were used for meta-analyses and assessing of risk of bias, respectively. Results: In all, 23 studies were reviewed. Significant effects in exercise-based interventions and mind-body therapies were found for quality of life, menopausal symptoms, and depression but not for hot flashes. Limitations of this review include insufficient blinding of participants and/or researchers found in most of the included studies and high levels of heterogeneity in the meta-analyses. Evidence found in this review is to be interpreted with caution. Conclusion: Healthcare professionals can consider exercise-based interventions or mind-body therapies to manage menopausal symptoms. Future trials of good quality can examine the cost-effectiveness and optimal intervention duration. Intervention effects on specific menopausal symptoms such as sleeplessness in Asia can be examined in future. Impact: Exercise-based interventions and mind-body therapies suggest effectiveness on quality of life, menopausal symptoms, and depression among Asian perimenopausal women. Exercise-based interventions and mind-body therapies improve quality of life, menopausal symptoms, and depression but not hot flashes. Long-term exercise-based interventions is effective in managing depression. Due to varied limitations in the review and included studies, firm conclusions cannot be reached. Healthcare professionals in Asia can consider implementing exercise-based interventions and mind-body therapies for symptomatic perimenopausal Asian women.
