“…3 Increased vasomotor symptom reporting among African American women might be due to differences in perception and tolerance of temperatures. Several experimental studies have shown that African Americans have lower levels of tolerance to cold 60 and heat 61,62 than Whites and that more African Americans than Whites rate heat as being unpleasant. 61 Thus, ethnic differences in perceptions and tolerance of thermal discomfort may extend to perceptions and reporting of vasomotor symptoms.…”

Objectives. We investigated whether vasomotor symptom reporting or patterns of change in symptom reporting over the perimenopausal transition among women enrolled in a national study differed according to race/ethnicity. We also sought to determine whether racial/ethnic differences were explained by sociodemographic, health, or lifestyle factors. Methods. We followed 3198 women enrolled in the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation during 1996 through 2002. We analyzed frequency of vasomotor symptom reporting using longitudinal multiple logistic regressions. Results. Rates of vasomotor symptom reporting were highest among African Americans (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.21, 2.20). The transition to late perimenopause exhibited the strongest association with vasomotor symptoms (adjusted OR = 6.64; 95% CI = 4.80, 9.20). Other risk factors were age (adjusted OR=1.17; 95% CI=1.13, 1.21), having less than a college education (adjusted OR = 1.91; 95% CI = 1.40, 2.61), increasing body mass index (adjusted OR=1.03 per unit of increase; 95% CI=1.01, 1.04), smoking (adjusted OR=1.63; 95% CI=1.25, 2.12), and anxiety symptoms at baseline (adjusted OR=3.10; 95% CI=2.33, 4.12). Conclusions. Among the risk factors assessed, vasomotor symptoms were most strongly associated with menopausal status. After adjustment for covariates, symptoms were reported most often in all racial/ethnic groups in late perimenopause and nearly as often in postmenopause.

“…Wolff, Hardy, and Goodell (4) found consistent rises following the administration of morphine under certain conditions. Using the same technique, Andrews (5), Isbell (6), Denton and Beecher (7), and Chapman and Jones (8) found, following morphine, that the pain perception threshold might be elevated, lowered or unchanged. Similar results were obtained by Isbell and Frank (9) in studies on the effect of analgesics on tooth pain perception thresholds.…”
