The present study had two objectives: (1) to register the prevalence of a number of climacteric complaints in a Danish general population cohort and (2) retrospectively to test the validity of an association between climacteric complaints, menopausal development, occurrence of life events and social background. A postal questionnaire sent to the 51-year-old female population living in four Copenhagen suburbs, (N = 597, response rate = 88%) included information on menstrual pattern and change, hormonal treatment, socioeconomic data and a 4-year retrospective annual registration of prevalence of a number of climacteric complaints and life events. Logistic regression analyses performed on a restricted sample (women who experienced a natural menopausal development) revealed prevalence of hot flushes, moodiness and fatigue to be significantly associated with transitions in menopausal status. Fatigue, moodiness and depression were strongly associated with socio-economic variables. Life events were only occasionally associated with prevalence of the studied complaints.
（1）记录丹麦普通人群队列中一些更年期症状的患病率；（2）回顾性检验更年期症状、绝经发展、生活事件发生情况与社会背景之间关联的有效性。向居住在哥本哈根四个郊区的51岁女性人群邮寄了问卷（N = 597，回复率 = 88%），问卷包含月经模式及变化、激素治疗、社会经济数据，以及对一些更年期症状和生活事件患病率进行的4年回顾性年度记录。对一个受限样本（经历自然绝经发展的女性）进行的逻辑回归分析显示，潮热、情绪波动和疲劳的患病率与绝经状态的转变显著相关。疲劳、情绪波动和抑郁与社会经济变量密切相关。生活事件仅偶尔与所研究症状的患病率相关。
