Abstract

Objective: To compare the physical function and performance in pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal women.

Study design: A cross sectional study using convenience sampling method was conducted in 210 women categorized into premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal.

Main outcome measures: Flexibility, muscle strength, muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance, static balance, dynamic balance, and gait speed.

Results: The mean age of the premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women was 46.55 ± 1.77, 49.54 ± 3.38 and 54.85 ± 3.77 years respectively. There is significant difference observed between premenopausal, perimenopausal, and postmenopausal women in muscle strength, upper limb endurance, lower limb endurance, static balance, dynamic balance, gait speed, and cardiovascular endurance (p < .05) using Kruskal Wallis test. There is no significant difference observed between the groups for flexibility (p > .05).

Conclusion: It was observed that physical function and performance was impaired in postmenopausal women when compared to pre- and perimenopausal women. Hence, these components should be included during assessment which will provide a holistic and multimodal approach toward the understanding, planning and management of postmenopausal women in community settings.

绝经状态对身体功能和表现的影响:一项横断面研究。

目的:比较绝经前、围绝经期和绝经后妇女的身体功能和表现。研究设计:采用方便抽样方法对210名绝经前、围绝经期和绝经后妇女进行横断面研究。主要观察指标:柔韧性、肌肉力量、肌肉耐力、心血管耐力、静态平衡、动态平衡和步态速度。结果:绝经前、围绝经期和绝经后妇女的平均年龄分别为46.55±1.77岁、49.54±3.38岁和54.85±3.77岁。经Kruskal Wallis检验，绝经前、围绝经期和绝经后妇女在肌力、上肢耐力、下肢耐力、静态平衡、动态平衡、步态速度、心血管耐力方面差异有统计学意义(p < 0.05)。各组间柔韧性差异无统计学意义(p > 0.05)。结论:与绝经前和围绝经期妇女相比，绝经后妇女的身体功能和表现受到损害。因此，在评估期间应包括这些组成部分，这将为了解、规划和管理社区环境中的绝经后妇女提供一种全面和多模式的方法。

期刊介绍： Post Reproductive Health (formerly Menopause International) is a MEDLINE indexed, peer reviewed source of news, research and opinion. Aimed at all those involved in the field of post reproductive health study and treatment, it is a vital resource for all practitioners and researchers. As the official journal of the British Menopause Society (BMS), Post Reproductive Health has a broad scope, tackling all the issues in this field, including the current controversies surrounding postmenopausal health and an ageing and expanding female population. Initially this journal will concentrate on the key areas of menopause, sexual health, urogynaecology, metabolic bone disease, cancer diagnosis and treatment, recovering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, cognition, prescribing, use of new hormone therapies, psychology, the science of ageing, sociology, economics, and quality of life. However as a progressive and innovative journal the Editors are always willing to consider other areas relevant to this rapidly expanding area of healthcare.
