OBJECTIVE
This study aims to investigate the factors that discriminate different menopausal age groups.
METHODS
We selected 715 postmenopausal Bengali-speaking Hindu women from the State of West Bengal, India, who were married and had at least one child. We divided the participants into three groups based on the age at which they attained menopause: Group 1 (30-39 years), Group 2 (40-49 years), and Group 3 (50-55 years). A well-tested questionnaire was used to collect information on reproductive variables.
RESULTS
We applied discriminant function analysis to identify the factors associated with different ages at menopause. Results show that factors like age at menarche, duration of breastfeeding of the last child, and age at first pregnancy discriminate the different menopausal age groups.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that reproductive factors discriminate the three different menopausal age groups for this study population.
目的
本研究旨在调查区分不同绝经年龄组的因素。
方法
我们从印度西孟加拉邦选取了715名讲孟加拉语的绝经后印度教已婚女性，她们育有至少一个孩子。我们根据绝经年龄将参与者分为三组：第1组（30 - 39岁）、第2组（40 - 49岁）和第3组（50 - 55岁）。使用经过充分测试的问卷收集生殖变量信息。
结果
我们应用判别函数分析来确定与不同绝经年龄相关的因素。结果表明，初潮年龄、最后一个孩子的母乳喂养时长和首次怀孕年龄等因素可区分不同的绝经年龄组。
结论
我们得出结论，对于本研究人群，生殖因素可区分三个不同的绝经年龄组。
