Functional dietary factors play a crucial role in influencing the process of aging and the development of various diseases, especially in women. Among the plethora of dietary components studied, soy isoflavones and evening primrose oil (EPO) have emerged as intriguing subjects due to their potential effects on female aging and the management of female-specific diseases. Soy isoflavones, phytoestrogens abundant in soybeans, have been studied for their potential role in mitigating age-related hormonal changes and associated health problems in women. Evening primrose oil, abundant in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), has been researched for its potential benefits in addressing a range of women's health issues.This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the effects of soy isoflavones and evening primrose oil on female aging and female-specific diseases. By synthesizing findings from clinical trials, epidemiological studies, and mechanistic investigations, this paper endeavors to elucidate the significance of these dietary elements in enhancing women's health throughout their lives.
