“…This finding is consistent with the low incidence of hot flushes seen with raloxifene in postmenopausal Japanese women (11) and reports that Asian women are generally less likely to report hot flushes and other menopausal symptoms than white women. (18)(19)(20)(21) Additionally, there were no reports of venous thromboembolic events. The numbers of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular AEs were low and similarly distributed among treatment groups.…”

“…Yet, it also means understanding the moral, symbolic and political dimensions of human suffering as entangled with manifold material aspects. Lately, a number of scholars at the intersection of science and technology studies, anthropology and sociology have pointed to this need to take materiality more seriously for different reasons (Lock, 2001;Mol, 2002;Melby et al, 2005;Timmermans and Haas, 2008). Anthropologist Margaret Lock made this point some time ago with her concept of local biology.…”

“…13 De fato, nesses estágios as mulheres se tornam mais vulneráveis e sensíveis á quadros ansiosos, segundo Barlow 14 , possivelmente em decorrência da redução progressiva dos estrogênios 4,15-17 uma vez que esse esteróide exibe nítida ação ansiolítica. 17 A ansiedade leve foi observada em 23,6% das mulheres por nós estudadas, diferentemente dos 50% notados por Melby et al 18 em mulheres avaliadas também pelo BAI. Essa alta prevalência foi atribuída a fatores comumente associados a esses estágios da transição e pós-menopausa, como a síndrome do "ninho vazio", aposentadoria, presença de comorbidades (hipertensão arterial e diabetes mellitus), perdas e mudanças físicas.…”

“…21 Clinicamente, a ansiedade manifesta-se por sintomas de inquietação, insegurança e tensão muscular, sendo este último uma de suas principais manifestações. 18,21 Outro fator que tem sido implicado à ansiedade é a preocupação relacionada à renda, e nossos resultados confirmaram essa associação, pois das 49% de mulheres com atividade remunerada, mais da metade (54,9%) recebiam até um salário mínimo; esse achado concorda com os constatados por La Rosa 22 , Melby et al 18 , Maevsky et al 23 em estudos realizados em serviços públicos de saúde, ressaltando ainda que a condição de gênero e o nível sócio-econômico representaram fatores determinantes para ansiedade.…”
