This study aimed to evaluate work ability and functional exercise capacity, and their correlation to each other and to obesity, in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women with non-manual employment. The study included 300 women aged 44-66 years. The following measures were used: work ability index (WAI), 6-min walk test (6MWT), body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and adipose tissue accumulation. Regression models of the WAI and distance in the 6MWT were estimated. The examined women obtained WAI 39.0 ± 5.0, BMI 26.2 ± 4.6, WHR 0.819 ± 0.060 and adipose tissue accumulation 30.1 ± 6.1%, on average. About 19% of women obtained a very good work ability score, 55% good, 23% medium and 3% poor. About 17% of women were obese, 39% overweight and 44% normal body mass, 29% had abdominal obesity, 19% had elevated accumulation of adipose tissue and 21% had high accumulation of adipose tissue. These results did not differ significantly between perimenopausal and postmenopausal women The postmenopausal women obtained a significantly lower functional exercise capacity score than perimenopausal women. Work ability correlates positively to functional exercise capacity, which correlates negatively to adipose tissue accumulation in perimenopausal women with non-manual employment, but not in postmenopausal cases.
本研究旨在评估有非体力劳动的围绝经期和绝经后女性的工作能力和功能运动能力，以及它们之间的相关性，并分析它们与肥胖的相关性。研究纳入了 300 名 44-66 岁的女性。采用的评估方法包括工作能力指数（WAI）、6 分钟步行测试（6MWT）、体重指数（BMI）、腰臀比（WHR）和脂肪组织蓄积。对 WAI 和 6MWT 距离进行了回归模型估计。被检查的女性的 WAI 平均为 39.0±5.0，BMI 为 26.2±4.6，WHR 为 0.819±0.060，脂肪组织蓄积为 30.1±6.1%。约 19%的女性获得了非常好的工作能力评分，55%为良好，23%为中等，3%为差。约 17%的女性肥胖，39%超重，44%为正常体重，29%有腹部肥胖，19%有脂肪组织蓄积增加，21%有高蓄积的脂肪组织。围绝经期和绝经后女性的这些结果没有显著差异。绝经后女性的功能运动能力评分明显低于围绝经期女性。工作能力与功能运动能力呈正相关，与有非体力劳动的围绝经期女性的脂肪组织蓄积呈负相关，但与绝经后女性无相关性。
