Our aim was to assess the influence of the severity of vasomotor complaints, menopausal status, and age on the severity of 21 general complaints considered atypical for the climacteric.
A cross-sectional general population survey was conducted through questionnaires of 5213 women aged 39 to 60 years. Statistical analysis was performed by cross tabulation, analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis.
Severity of vasomotor complaints is related to the severity of all 21 general complaints, most pronounced for tenseness and tiredness. Because menstruating women report more severe atypical complaints than nonmenstruating women with similarly severe vasomotor complaints, the change in prevalence of atypical complaints according to menopausal status is rather small. Adjusted for vasomotor complaints, there is virtually no independent effect of age on atypical complaints.
Severity of vasomotor complaints is related to an overall reduced well-being. When climacteric women are seen for atypical complaints it is vital to assess the severity of vasomotor complaints also because others have shown that the severity of vasomotor complaints is indicative of the rate of climacteric bone loss.
我们的目的是评估血管舒缩症状的严重程度、绝经状态和年龄对21种被认为是更年期非典型症状的一般症状严重程度的影响。
通过对5213名年龄在39至60岁之间的女性进行问卷调查，开展了一项横断面的普通人群调查。通过交叉列表、方差分析和多元回归分析进行统计分析。
血管舒缩症状的严重程度与所有21种一般症状的严重程度相关，对紧张和疲劳的影响最为明显。由于月经期间的女性比血管舒缩症状同样严重的非月经女性报告了更严重的非典型症状，因此根据绝经状态，非典型症状患病率的变化相当小。在调整了血管舒缩症状后，年龄对非典型症状几乎没有独立影响。
血管舒缩症状的严重程度与整体幸福感降低有关。当更年期女性出现非典型症状时，评估血管舒缩症状的严重程度也至关重要，因为其他研究表明，血管舒缩症状的严重程度表明了更年期骨质流失的速度。
