The aim of this study was to evaluate the severity of climacteric symptoms among two Peruvian communities, adjusted for sociodemographic and clinical variables in climacteric women.
A cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 subjects from two different communities (an urban coastal and a rural Andean district from Peru). The Menopause Rating Scale was used to assess climacteric symptoms. Prevalence ratios with 95% confidence interval (PR 95%CI) were estimated using generalized linear Poisson models with family robust standard errors.
A higher probability of severe climacteric symptoms was found in women who were from the Andean community than those who were from the coastal one (PR 2.42, 95%CI 1.47-3.99; p=0.001), which remained in the adjusted model (RP 1.72, 95%CI 1.04-2.86; p=0.035).
Understanding the variation of climacteric symptoms among geographically distinct communities could contribute to improving women's quality of life.
本研究旨在评估两个秘鲁社区更年期女性的更年期症状严重程度，并根据社会人口统计学和临床变量进行调整。
对来自两个不同社区（秘鲁一个城市沿海地区和一个农村安第斯地区）的90名受试者进行了横断面研究。使用更年期评定量表评估更年期症状。采用具有稳健标准误的广义线性泊松模型估计95%置信区间（PR 95%CI）的患病率比。
发现来自安第斯社区的女性出现严重更年期症状的可能性高于来自沿海社区的女性（PR 2.42，95%CI 1.47-3.99；p=0.001），在调整模型中这一差异仍然存在（RP 1.72，95%CI 1.04-2.86；p=0.035）。
了解地理上不同社区之间更年期症状的差异有助于提高女性的生活质量。
