Abstract
|
|
|
Background: Interest in menopause and mental health problems is increasing. Several studies have been conducted on the relationship between menopause and mental health problems, but only a few studies were conducted in Koreans. Studies that compare mental health in early menopause are especially rare. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the association between early menopause and mental health in Korean women using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES).
Methods: This study was based on data from the 4th to 6th KNHANES (2007?2013) and 9,555 postmenopausal women. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the association between early menopause and mental health problems.
Results: The early menopause group showed higher stress intensity than the normal menopause group, but no significant difference in level of depression was observed.
Conclusion: Stress intensity was higher among the Korean women who had early menopause than among those who did not have early menopause (odds ratio, 1.26; P=0.043).
