had similar educational level (11.76 [11.41–12.47]), and family income (in minimum wages, 3.20 [2.13–6.40]). They moderately to never consume hot beverages (60%) or alcohol (68%), but frequently drink coffee (82%) and exercise (52%). They were categorized in pre (n = 154), peri (n = 53) or postmenopausal (n = 213) women, and the median age of menopause was 48.00 [46.16–47.41] years. CS-10 analysis revealed that women self-reported, from a moderated to a severe manner: anxiety and mood changes (70%), joint stiffness, aches and pains (66%); skin alterations (e.g. texture, color) (59%), sleeping difficulties (53%), tiredness (51%), hot flushes and night sweats (49%), palpitations (38%), vaginal dryness complaints (39%), depression (34%), and urinary incontinence (14%). Conclusion: Main complaints were related to mood, osteoarticular system, skin, sleep, tiredness and hot flushes, although most of Brazilian women have presented a healthy lifestyle, configuring climaterium as a period whose manifestations involve a complex biopsychosocial mechanism. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.maturitas.2017.03.160 P061 Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and Brazilian women lifestyle characterization Maria Celeste Osório Wender 1,2,3,∗ , Charles Francisco Ferreira 1,2,3 , Renata Schvartzman 1,2,4 , Fernanda Vargas Ferreira 1,2,3 , Carin Weirich Gallon 1,2,4 , Aline Henz 2,3 , Milena da Silva Santos 1,2,3 , Mona Dall’Agno 1,2,3 , Isabella Osório Wender 2 , Luiza Barboza de Souza 1,2 , Amanda Vilaverde Perez 1,2 , Michel Milton Panizzi Andreolla 2 , Handria Rodrigues 2 , Faustino R.

Methods: A cross-sectional study from Brazilian southern cities included 420 mid-aged women (40–61 years), which completed the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) and a socio-demographic questionnaire. Questions about lifestyle and habits were analysed using SPSS, version 21.0, considering menopausal status. Lifestyle descriptive analysis was carried out. Categorical variables were expressed as relative frequencies (n%) and continuous variables as median [25–75 percentiles]. Results: Most women were married (70%), multiparous (64%), employed (67%), non-smokers (68%), had a sexual partner (88%), had similar educational level (11.76 [11.41–12.47]), and family income (in minimum wages, 3.20 [2.13–6.40]).

analysis revealed that women self-reported, from a moderated to a severe manner: joint stiffness, aches and pains (59%); irritability and mood changes (52%); problems with memory and concentration (52%); anxiety (51%) and depressive mood (41%); sleeping difficulties (51%); hot flushes and night sweats (41%); reduced libido (41%), heart palpitations (30%), vaginal dryness complaints (29%), and urinary dysfunctions (17%). Conclusion: Most of women have presented a healthy lifestyle such as non-smoking and regular physical exercise; however, there was an apparent influence of the menopause in the osteoarticular system, mood and sleep, possible due to regulation by estrogen, which affects quality of life. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.maturitas.2017.03.161 P062 Factors associated with Brazilian Portuguese 10-item Cervantes Scale (CS10) in a sample of Brazilian women Maria Celeste Osório Wender 1,2,3,∗ , Charles Francisco Ferreira 1,2,3 , Renata Schvartzman 1,2,4 , Fernanda Vargas Ferreira 1,2,3 , Carin Weirich Gallon 1,2,4 , Aline Henz 2,3 , Milena da Silva Santos 1,2,3 , Mona Dall’Agno 1,2,3 , Isabella Osório Wender 2 , Luiza Barboza de Souza 1,2 , Amanda Vilaverde Perez 1,2 , Michel Milton Panizzi Andreolla 2 , Handria Rodrigues 2 , Débora Baraibar 2 , Faustino R.

Aim: To verify factors associated with quality of life in a sample of Brazilian women. Methods: A cross-sectional study from Brazilian southern cities included 420 mid-aged women (40–61 years), which completed the Brazilian Portuguese version of the 10-item Cervantes Scale (CS-10) and a socio-demographic questionnaire. Questions about lifestyle and habits were analysed using SPSS, version 21.0, considering menopausal status. Comparisons between status, by Kruskal–Wallis test, and correlations among all variables were carried out. Categorical variables were expressed as relative frequencies (n%) and continuous variables as median [25–75 percentiles].
