Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life, meaning of life, body image and mental health in two groups of postmenopausal and non-menopausal women with emphasis on their education. Methods: The statistical population included all postmenopausal and non-menopausal women. The statistical sample included 50 people, of whom 25 were postmenopausal and 25 were non-menopausal, who were selected through women's gatherings from among women who wanted to participate in the study. The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), the Women's Quality of Life Questionnaire, the 12-item Stieger and fraser meaning of life questionnaire, the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire, and demographic characteristics were used. Data were analyzed by independent t-test and two-factor analysis of variance. Findings: indicate a significant difference between quality of life in postmenopausal and non-postmenopausal women with a diploma level, which means that the quality of life in non-postmenopausal women with a diploma is better than the quality of life in postmenopausal women with the same level of education. But the quality of life in women was not different from the level of primary and university education in these two groups (postmenopausal and non-menopausal women), so the higher the level of education of women, the better their quality of life. In this study, physical image, meaning of life and mental health were the same between postmenopausal and non-menopausal women and there was no significant difference, but the higher the level of education of both groups of women, the more desirable physical image and higher mental health.

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between students' mental health and happiness. It was a descriptive study following a correlational approach with a statistical population of all educational sciences students (bachelors and masters) in the University of Sistan and Baluchestan which included 400 subjects. The sampling was done in a simple random method and a number of 196 subjects were studied as samples based on Morgan's table. Research tools included Goldberg's questionnaire (1979) including 28 questions on General Health Questions (GHQ) and Argyle and Crossland's happiness questionnaire (1989) including 29 questions. The content validity of the questionnaires was confirmed and their reliability was estimated using Cronbach's Alpha. Descriptive and inferential analyses including Pearson's correlation coefficient and independent t-test were used for data analysis. Results of Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that there is a positive significant relationship between mental health and happiness of students. Results of the independent t-test showed that there is no significant difference between mental health and happiness of the students in terms of their marital status.
