“…This concept includes, among other factors, the work-related quality of life (1) and the possible influence the endocrine modifications of ovarian failure may exert on women's perceived quality of life (2)(3)(4) . Therefore, from the HRQoL perspective, the consequences of the climacterium should be considered as a specific aspect of health-related quality of life.…”

The objective of this study was to determine the association between the professional activity and the perceived quality of life in climacteric women who work in Health and Education. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was developed in a sample of 203 climacteric women, together with a correlation analysis of labor factors' influence on health-related quality of life. Significant differences were found between working women's quality of life and some labor conditions. The perceived quality of life in perimenopausal women who work in Education is higher than that of those working in Health (p=0.004). Nursing professionals can develop health programs that deal with the work conditions that negatively influence the perceived quality of life in climacteric women. Calidad de vida en mujeres climatéricas que trabajan en el sistema sanitario y educativoEl objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la asociación entre la actividad profesional y la calidad de vida percibida en mujeres climatéricas que trabajan en las áreas sanitaria y educativa. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal, en una muestra de 203 mujeres climatéricas, junto al análisis correlacional de la influencia de los factores laborales en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud. Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre la calidad de vida de las trabajadoras y algunas condiciones laborales. La calidad de vida percibida por las mujeres perimenopáusicas que trabajan en educación es superior a la de las que trabajan en salud (p=0,004). Los profesionales de Enfermería pueden elaborar programas de salud, que aborden las condiciones de trabajo que influyen negativamente en la calidad de vida percibida por las mujeres climatéricas. Descriptores: Calidad de Vida; Climaterio; Salud Ocupacional; Satisfacción en el Trabajo.

“…Better objective health outcome has been reported in women who felt that their work role was important than those who did not [21,22]. Housewives have been found to have worse scores on psychosocial measures of quality of life compared to working women [23]. Social class to which a woman belongs also have been found to play a role.…”

“…The body fat content of the human body is regulated by the neuroendocrine system through the whole life span, and can be maintained in a rather stable condition if the control of balance between energy intake and expenditure is appropriate. The neu-between these stages are accompanied by significant changes in metabolic status and body structure and, as a consequences of these changes, the transitions are also accompanied by changes in general health status and quality of life as well [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. There is much evidence for the relationship between an increase in overall morbidity and mortality and early or late ages of onset of the menopausal transition, e.g.…”

Body fatness and endogenous sex hormones in the menopausal transition

et al. 2016

a b s t r a c tBackground: Age at the final menstrual period is of clinical and public health interest because the age at which natural menopause occurs may be a marker of ageing and health, and in general the menopausal transition increases the risk of many diseases, e.g. redistribution in the pattern of adiposity during the menopausal transition may increase risk of metabolic disease. The purpose of this research was to study the relationship between the menopausal status and body fatness. Subjects and methods: A random sample of 1932Hungarian women was studied. Body composition was estimated by body impedance analysis. In a subsample free estradiol and progesterone levels in saliva were quantified. Results: Body fat mass increased until the late 50s and then had a decrease through senescence. Premenopausal women who were much older than the median age at menopause had a higher amount of fat than their postmenopausal age-peers, while postmenopausal women, whose menopause occurred much earlier than the median age at menopause, had less fat than their premenopausal age-peers. The body fat mass in premenopausal women with low levels of sex hormones was always below the agemedian value of the menopausal status subgroups, while the body fat mass of postmenopausal women with high levels of sex hormone levels was above the age-median values. Conclusions: The analysis of body fatness in the menopausal transition revealed that (1) the rate of reproductive ageing and the body fat pattern were significantly related, and (2) body fat mass of women with unexpected levels of sex hormones was related more to their hormonal levels than to their menopausal status or their age. Thus future epidemiological screenings of women exposed to higher levels of menopause-related health risks should be expanded beyond the estimation of menopausal status based only on menstrual history to include sex hormone level assessment, as well as body composition analysis.
