“…However, VMS were found associated with depression only in the premenopausal period (not in the peri-and postmenopausal periods) in our study. Our results vary from previous studies which reported association of depression with VMS in the peri-and postmenopausal periods or throughout three menopausal stages 2,6,7 . One plausible explanation for the differences between these studies is that premenopausal women with VMS may be under more stress than peri-and postmenopausal women.…”

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the association of depression with menopausal status and some menopause symptoms (vasomotor symptoms and poor sleep). Methods: A total of 743 participants aged 40-60 years were recruited. Depression status was evaluated by using Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Sleep quality and vasomotor symptoms were evaluated by specific symptoms questionnaire. Results: The prevalence of depression among participants was 11.4%. Depression was found more likely to occur in participants with poor sleep (OR, 6.02; 95%CI, 3.61, 10.03) or with vasomotor symptoms (VMS) (OR, 2.03; 95%CI, 1.20, 3.44) after controlling for age, education level, marital status, menopause status, monthly family income and chronic diseases. Menopause status was not associated with depression. Stratification analysis showed a significant association between poor sleep and depression across different menopause stages, while VMS were associated with depression only in premenopausal status. Conclusion:The majority of Chinese rural midlife women do not experience depression. The relationship between depression, VMS and sleep disturbances tends to change with menopausal status in Chinese rural midlife women.

“…However, other studies reported that depression in midlife women may be more strongly associated with common menopausal symptoms (e.g. VMS and poor sleep) than menopause status per se 6,7 . There is no definitive consensus on whether depression is associated with menopausal symptoms and the menopause status.…”

Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de idosos inseridos na Estratégia Saúde da Família. Método: Estudo transversal, descritivo-exploratório, quantitativo, realizado nos domicílios de idosos da zona urbana do município de Floriano – PI. A amostra constituiu-se por 671 idosos. A coleta de dados foi realizada utilizando o WHOQOL-Bref e um questionário para obtenção de informações sociodemográficas. As associações foram realizadas por testes Quiquadrado e análise de agrupamento hierárquico. Resultados: Houve predominância do sexo feminino (65,3%). A maioria dos idosos vivia sem companheiro, no âmbito familiar, com renda mensal de 1 a 3 salários mínimos e possuía qualidade de vida muito boa (66,2%), sendo maior proporção para o sexo masculino (69,5%), com diferença significativa entre os sexos (p=0,021). Conclusão: A maioria dos idosos pesquisados possuía boa qualidade de vida segundo os escores dos domínios avaliados pelo WHOQOL-Bref, apresentando maiores escores para o domínio das relações sociais e menor para o domínio meio ambiente.

“…In contrast, the SMWHS found no significant association of urinary measures of estrone, FSH, testosterone and cortisol with depressed mood [33,59]. A community-based, crosssectional study of women ages 45-54 years found that 25 % experienced depressed mood (CES-D > =16), but there were no significant associations of depressed mood with estradiol or androgens [68].…”

There is accumulating evidence but no definitive answers about the incidence of depressed mood in the menopause transition and its association with the changing hormonal milieu. While a changing hormonal milieu is the natural condition for all women, only a minority of mid-life women experience debilitating depressive symptoms or clinical depression. This review focuses on associations between depressed mood and the menopause transition, primarily as identified in longitudinal, population-based studies in the past decade. Further aims were to present reported associations between depressed mood and reproductive hormones in the menopause transition as evaluated in the general population and associations of depressive symptoms or clinical depression with menopausal hot flashes or poor sleep in perimenopausal women. There is evidence to support the role of the changing endocrine milieu in the development of depressed mood in the menopause transition, but the contribution of hormones as measured is small. Disentangling the numerous factors that are associated with depression in midlife women is a major challenge for research and for clinical care, where treatments are needed to improve the most distressing menopausal symptoms.
