Body Composition, Physical Activity and Menopause Symptoms in Women with Visual Impairment during Climacteric and Post Menopause
Abstract
The climacteric period is characterized by a series of hormonal changes that can result in the gain of adipose tissue and generate symptoms such as hot flashes, excessive sweating and psychological disorders. However, it is not clear yet how this process occurs in women with visual impairment. Thus, this study evaluated the body composition, physical activity level and climacteric symptoms in women with visual impairment. For this, 19 women answered questionnaires to evaluate the habitual practice of physical activity and the characteristics and symptoms of climacteric and menopause. Anthropometric variables and body composition were also evaluated. The data were treated by means of descriptive statistics, Student's t-test and Pearson's correlation test, adopting a significance level of 5% (p <0.05). As a result, the majority of the participants were classified as active, however, the means of Body mass index, abdominal circumference and fat percentage were above the recommended health parameters. The climacteric symptoms presented by women with visual impairment were similar to the complaints of women without disabilities. Some physical symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, muscle and joint pain may have a greater influence of factors related to visual impairment, such as high muscle tone to maintain posture, and therefore deserve special attention. It reinforces the need for greater dissemination of information for visually impaired women so that they be informed and deal more positively with the climacteric and menopause phases.

Resumo
O periodo do climaterio caracteriza-se por uma serie de alteracoes hormonais que podem resultar no ganho de tecido adiposo e gerar sintomas como ondas de calor, sudorese excessiva e desordens psicologicas. No entanto, ainda nao e claro como este processo acontece nas mulheres com deficiencia visual. Assim, esta pesquisa avaliou a composicao corporal, o nivel de atividade fisica e os sintomas do climaterio em mulheres com deficiencia visual. Para isso, 19 mulheres responderam questionarios para avaliacao da pratica habitual de atividade fisica e das caracteristicas e sintomas do climaterio e menopausa. Foram tambem avaliadas variaveis antropometricas e composicao corporal. Os dados foram tratados por meio de estatistica descritiva, teste t-student e teste de correlacao de Pearson, adotando-se significância de 5% (p < 0,05). Como resultados, a maioria das participantes foi classificada como ativa, no entanto, as medias de Indice de Massa Corporal, circunferencia abdominal e percentual de gordura estavam acima dos parâmetros recomendados para a saude. Os sintomas do climaterio apresentados pelas mulheres com deficiencia visual foram semelhantes as queixas das mulheres sem deficiencia. Alguns sintomas fisicos como tonturas, dores de cabeca, musculares e articulares podem ter maior influencia de fatores relacionados a deficiencia visual, como o alto tonus muscular para manutencao da postura, e por isso merecem atencao especial. Reforca-se a necessidade de maior divulgacao de informacoes para mulheres com deficiencia visual para que estas consigam conhecer e lidar de maneira mais positiva com a fase do climaterio e menopausa.
