“…It should be noted, however, that differences can be found in the global MRS scores, which would impact the symptomatological levels presented. In the present study, the global MRS score found was higher than that of other studies (16,21) ; this difference can be explained by cultural, economic and social differences, influencing the signs and symptoms of women and modifying the score of the domains (22) .…”

Objective: to assess sleep quality in menopausal women and its association with symptoms related to this period. Method: this is a cross-sectional, analytical and correlational study. Sleep was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; and climacteric symptoms, according to the Menopause Rating Scale. To compare the total score and each Menopause Rating Scale domain with the PSQI classification, the Mann-Whitney U non-parametric test was used. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: 261 women (67.8%) were classified as bad sleepers. There was a positive and significant correlation between the sleep scale scores and the total menopause score and its domains. Women categorized as poor sleepers had worse scores on the menopause symptom scale. Conclusion: women with worse sleep quality revealed greater severity of symptoms related to menopause.

Objective: To estimate the frequency of muscle and joint pain and to identify if other menopausal symptoms, age, nutritional status, metabolic risk, and menopausal status were associated factors. Methods: A Cross-sectional study which is part of the CAVIMEC project (Calidad de vida en la menopausia y Etnias Colombianas) was carried out in climacteric Afro-descendant women, between 40 and 59 years old, living in the Colombian Caribbean. They were surveyed in their own residences, prior informed consent. The Menopause Rating Scale was applied, this instrument assesses menopausal symptoms. Logistic regression was performed and the Spearman correlation coefficient was estimated. P value<0.05 was statistically significant. Results: 420 women were studied, median age 50.0 ± 6.1, 22.8% postmenopausal and 82.8% with abdominal obesity. 243 (57.9%) had muscle and joint pain. All menopausal symptoms were more frequent among women with muscle and joint pain. Depressed mood OR: 4.20 (95 % CI:1.55-11.74), age 50-54 years OR: 3.68 (95 % CI:1.53-8.82), heart palpitations OR:3.00 (95 % CI:1.51-5.98), age 55-50 years OR: 2.48 (95 % CI:1.08-5.64) and hot flashes OR: 1.92 (95 % CI:1.11-3.31) were associated with muscle and joint pain. The same was identified with the abdominal circumference OR: 0.322 (95 % CI:0.233-0.405) and hip circumference OR: 0.318 (95 % CI:0.229-0.401). Conclusions: High frequency of muscle and joint pain was identified. Aging, psychological and somato/vegetative symptoms, as well as abdominal and hip circumference, were significantly associated with muscle and joint pain. Keywords: Climacteric, Menopause, Arthralgia, Ethnic Groups, African Continental Ancestry Group.

“…It has been translated and validated in several languages, including Spanish. 20,28 In a group of Colombian women, Monterrosa et al 28,29 found a reliability of 0.86 through Cronbach's α. In determining internal consistency for the included women in this study, a Cronbach's α was found to be 0.80 for the Menopause Rating Scale.…”

Background: Quarantine is a measure to control COVID-19 spread, resulting in an increased perception of loneliness. In turn, sleep disorders (SD) may be more frequently reported in uncertain circumstances. Objectives: To identify the association between loneliness and severe SD, in women quarantined due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out in women, between 40 and 79 years and living in Colombia. The women were invited through social network to complete 5 digital instruments: de Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale, Menopause Rating Scale, Fear of COVID-19 Five-item Version, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale, and Francis Religion Scale. Bivariate analysis and adjusted logistic regression between loneliness and SD were performed. Results: 1133 women participated, half of them under 50 years old. 43.1% had emotional loneliness, 39.9% social loneliness and 43.3% general loneliness. SD were identified in 6 out of 10 women, those with mild SD presented an OR of 1.84, 1.85, and 1.64, for emotional, social and general loneliness, respectively. Loneliness was associated twice with moderate SD, and more than twice with severe SD. Very severe SD reached OR:5.81 for emotional loneliness, OR:4.38 social loneliness and OR:4.02 general loneliness. In the presence of religiosity, fear and anxiety due to COVID-19, statistical significance was retained for associations, except intense SD with general loneliness. Conclusions: SD were significantly associated with loneliness in our study population. It is important to assess sleep quality and perception of loneliness in middle-aged women, especially during periods of quarantine due to a pandemic to avoid health implications.
