“…Whilst the menopause may cause no significant problems for some women, for others it is known to present considerable difficulties in both their personal and working lives [2,3]. In several studies over the past five years, women attribute sleep disturbance, fatigue, low mood, difficulty concentrating, and poor memory to their menopause [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Women report hot flushes to be a source of embarrassment and distress at work.…”

“…Considerando-se que entre 60 e 80% das mulheres referem sintomas indesejados associados ao climatério, com potenciais repercussões negativas sobre a qualidade de vida, tem ocorrido especial interesse pela mensuração da qualidade de vida (QV) relacionada à saúde na situação específica do climatério. Essa estratégia de avaliação visa não apenas determinar o impacto do estado crônico de hipoestrogenismo sobre diferentes aspectos da vida das mulheres, mas também possibilitar comparações entre diferentes populações e avaliar o impacto das várias formas de terapia propostas para utilização no climatério 1,3,4 . Uma gama de estudos com diferentes desenhos metodológicos tem sido realizada enfocando a relação da QV com o climatério em populações e culturas distintas.…”

“…Uma gama de estudos com diferentes desenhos metodológicos tem sido realizada enfocando a relação da QV com o climatério em populações e culturas distintas. Em sua maioria, esses estudos apontam uma relação inversa entre os diversos sinais e sintomas da síndrome climatérica e a QV [4][5][6] . A despeito disso, ainda surgem indagações acerca do real impacto do climatério sobre a QV das mulheres, especialmente quanto à interferência direta ou indireta de fatores psicossociais e culturais relacionados ao processo de envelhecimento 1,4,7 .…”
