“…In a study by Bahriand colleagues (2013), there was no significant relationship between the severity of menopausal symptoms with anxiety and depression (23), which is also inconsistent with the results of the present study, possibly due to the difference in the measurement scale of menopausal symptoms. On the other hand, a study by Lopez et al (2011) showed a significant relationship between lifestyle dimensions, physical activity, interpersonal relationships and spiritual growth with the number and severity of hot flashes and the number and severity of nightly sweating (24), which is partly in line with the results of our study. Furthermore, an earlier work by Ivarsson et al (1998) found that by increasing physical activity, the severity of hot flashes reduced (25).…”

Menopause is a physiological occurrence characterized by a series of bothersome symptoms. Given that lifestyle affects people's health in general and many menopausal symptoms are influenced by changes in lifestyle, this study aimed to determine the relationship between lifestyle and severity of menopausal symptoms in women referred to health centers in Yazd city. Method: This cross-sectional study was performed using stratified random sampling where 343 postmenopausal women who had experienced natural menopause for 1-5 years, and did not have any chronic or debilitating disease were selected. The study was conducted in 2017 in Yazd city, Iran. The data collection tools were Walker's Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP2) and Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) questionnaires. A multiple hierarchical linear regression was used to investigate the association between lifestyle and severity of menopausal symptoms. Results: The total mean ± (SD) score of menopausal symptoms severity and women's lifestyle were 10.21 ± 6.55 and 126.44 ± 79.27, respectively. The results of multiple hierarchical linear regression showed a significantly negative association between lifestyle score and the mean score of menopausal symptoms severity in all three models (P-value <0.001). Conclusion: Our study concluded that healthier lifestyle reduces the severity of menopausal symptoms. These findings warrant that policy makers in the design of postmenopausal care plans and programs ought to pay special attention to the role of healthy lifestyles, including physical activity and healthy diet in enhancing menopausal symptoms. By preventing aggravation of menopausal symptoms; it is possible to economize on referrals to physicians and medicinal and therapeutic costs. Longitudinal and intervention studies with larger sample size may be required to confirm these findings.

“…Uma gama de estudos com diferentes desenhos metodológicos tem sido realizada enfocando a relação da QV com o climatério em populações e culturas distintas. Em sua maioria, esses estudos apontam uma relação inversa entre os diversos sinais e sintomas da síndrome climatérica e a QV [4][5][6] . A despeito disso, ainda surgem indagações acerca do real impacto do climatério sobre a QV das mulheres, especialmente quanto à interferência direta ou indireta de fatores psicossociais e culturais relacionados ao processo de envelhecimento 1,4,7 .…”

Tradução, adaptação e validação da versão brasileira do questionário Utian Quality of Life para avaliação da qualidade de vida no climatério Resumo OBJETIVO: Traduzir, realizar a equivalência e validar o questionário Utian Quality of Life (UQOL) para a população brasileira. MÉTODOS: Participaram do estudo mulheres selecionadas aleatoriamente, na fase do climatério, residentes na cidade de Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, localizada na região do nordeste brasileiro. Foram utilizados os questionários UQOL e SF-36, sendo a fase da tradução realizada da língua inglesa para o português por três professores, enquanto que a fase de adaptação da versão traduzida foi feita através da aplicação do questionário a 35 mulheres, que poderiam marcar a opção de resposta "não compreendi a questão"; e para a validação foram usadas as medidas de reprodutibilidade (teste-reteste) e validade de construto, seguindo as normas metodológicas padronizadas internacionalmente. RESULTADOS: A versão brasileira foi reconhecida plenamente pela população-alvo, que foi composta por 151 mulheres, devido a nenhuma questão apresentar percentual de "não compreensão" igual ou superior a 20%. Os resultados obtidos para a reprodutibilidade intra e interobservador demonstraram concordância significativa em todos os itens do questionário. Essa versão apresentou consistência acima do critério requerido (>70), demonstrando sua precisão, enquanto que a validade de construto foi obtida através de correlações estatisticamente significativas entre os domínios ocupação, saúde e emocional do UQOL com os domínios do SF-36. O coeficiente alfa de Cronbach para o instrumento como um todo foi de 0,82, representando boa precisão. Análise da correlação item-total demonstrou a homogeneidade da escala. CONCLUSÃO: A partir das etapas realizadas, o questionário UQOL foi traduzido e adaptado para aplicação no Brasil, apresentando alta reprodutibilidade e validade. Dessa forma, pode ser incluído e utilizado em estudos brasileiros que visem avaliar a qualidade de vida durante a peri e pós-menopausa.
