Description

This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of past pregnancy and delivery on the perimenopausal status in 144 women (48-52 years of age). Individual interviews to ascertain the personal profile, medical history, events at pregnancy, delivery and puerperium, and the kind and severity of climacteric symptoms were held. The subjects were divided into two groups by means of a simplified menopausal index (SMI): group A had climacteric symptoms (SMI>50) and those in group B had mild symptoms (SMI≦50). The analysis of the principal components, and the correlation among the variables revealed that three factors -the impression and events at past pregnancies and deliveries, reproductive functions, and the psycho-character properties- had a significant influence on the status at the perimenopause, but the social-environmental factors appeared to have no significant influence on the severity of climacteric symptoms.
