摘要

背景:由于全球预期寿命的延长,更年期及其对妇女生活方式的影响现已成为一个重要的新公共卫生问题。更年期不是一种疾病,但其症状及其严重程度,可能非常具有挑战性,但在很大程度上仍被决策者和医生所忽视。目的:探讨影响绝经后女性更年期症状严重程度的因素。材料与方法:为期一年的横断面研究。采用系统随机抽样方法收集255名绝经后妇女的数据,并使用Epi-Info 7.2进行分析。绝经期症状严重程度与定性变量的相关性采用卡方统计学显著性检验。P < 0.05认为有统计学意义。结果:研究参与者的平均年龄为53.86±7.15岁。本研究发现,居住地区、受教育程度、职业、某些生活方式因素和某些社会文化因素、绝经类型和绝经后持续时间与更年期症状的严重程度有统计学显著相关。结论:需要做出很大的努力,使妇女意识到更年期症状,以便在必要时寻求治疗。

Factors affecting severity of menopausal symptoms: A cross-sectional study among post-menopausal females in a teaching institution in central India.

Background: Menopause and its effects on lifestyle of a woman has now become an important emerging public health issue owing to the global rise in life expectancy. Menopause is not a disease but the symptoms and their severities, can be very challenging and remain largely ignored by the policy makers and physicians.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to find out the factors influencing the severity of menopausal symptoms among post-menopausal females.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study conducted for a period of one year. Data collected using systematic random sampling from 255 post-menopausal women and analysis was performed with Epi-Info 7.2. Chi-square applied as statistical test of significance for the association between severity of menopausal symptoms and qualitative variables. P < 0.05 considered to be statistically significant.

Results: The mean age of the study participants was found to be 53.86 ± 7.15 years. The present study concludes that residing locality, educational status, occupation, certain lifestyle factors and some socio-cultural factors, type of menopause and duration since menopause was found to be statistically significantly related to severity of menopausal symptoms.

Conclusion: Large efforts are required to make women aware of menopausal symptoms so that they can seek treatment, if necessary.
