The MOS 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF- 36) 36 items combined into eight factors • physical function • physical role • bodily pain • general health • vitality • social function • mental health and two summarizing measures • physical health • mental health The European Quality of Life Questionnaire EQ-5D Simple, generic measure Minimum number of questions It produces an overall single number, “an index” of health status Includes 5 dimensions: • mobility • personal care • usual activities • pain/discomfort • anxiety/depression) (with 5 questions, 3 levels of response for each dimension) QUALITY OF LIFE EVALUATION IN ITALIAN MENOPAUSAL WOMEN •Multicentric study on the quality of life (QoL ) in women aged between 45 and 65 years, attending menopause centres in Italy. •Each of 64 menopause centres involved recruited up to 50 women, using random lists stratified by HRT (yes – no). QoL variables • Age • marital status • employment, partners’ employment • Employment was considered as a proxy for socio-economic status. To this purpose, a socio-economic score (SES) was created, ranging from 1 to 6. The score was assigned as follows: unemployed, housewife=1; retired=2; unskilled worker=3; skilled worker, artisan=4; technical, clerical=5; professional, managerial=6. For married women, the profession scoring higher between wife and husband was considered. • • • • geographic area menopause duration presence of chronic diseases presence of HRT Percent distribution of the 2760 PMW according to HRT ( on HRT, n=1342, 49%). Women on HRT were significantly more likely to have a menopause duration >3 years and significantly less likely to suffer from chronic diseases.

Correlates of QoL were first investigated with a series of bivariate analyses 2. To adjust for the possible confounding effects, multiple logistic regression analyses were applied to evaluate the independent role of variables investigated in predicting QoL Results of the stepwise logistic regression analyses with SF-36 scores as dependent variables. • school education (the higher the education, the better the QoL), • socio-economic score (the higher the SES, the better the QoL), • geographic area (women in southern Italy showing worse QoL), • presence of chronic conditions (associated with poorer QoL) • marital status and menopause duration are not related with any of the SF-36 areas Independent predictors of SF-36 domains HRT associated with better QoL in all of the areas investigated PCS * * MCS Vitality Social function HRT No HRT Sì * * * Role physical Role emotional Physical activity * * * * Mental health General health Bodily pain 0 20 40 * *p< 0.05 60 80 100 Stepwise logistic regression analyses with SF-36 scores as dependent variables. the use of HRT represents an independent predictor for limitations due to emotional problems Dolore corp.

Quality of Life Res 2000;9:709-719 Cross-sectional Evaluation of QoL, Menopause and HRT • different factors play an important role – low education is associated with a higher risk of reporting somatic and vasomotor symptoms, – low Social Economic Scores exerts a negative effect on attractiveness, depression and sleep problems • HRT is a factor that can modify at least some aspects of QoL in symptomatic PMW CONCLUSIONI HRT users • have a shorter duration of menopause • have less chronic diseases • tend to be slightly more educated and to belong to higher socio-economic classes, but these differences were marginal CONCLUSIONI • At univariate analyses, HRT users showed a significantly better QoL in all the areas investigated by the SF-36, in three of the six items of the EQ-5D and in all the symptoms scores of the WHQ, with the only exceptions of menstrual symptoms and memory/concentration. • After adjusting the analyses for a large array of different socioeconomic and clinical variables, several associations between HRT use and QoL became not significant, suggesting that they were mediated by the other factors considered in this study. • Nevertheless, HRT users showed a lower probability of reporting role limitations due to emotional problems (SF-36) and anxiety/fears (WHQ). • HRT was also associated with a lower probability of reporting problems in the usual activities and pain/discomfort items of the EQ5D CONCLUSIONI • When looking at menopause symptoms, HRT users showed highly significant better outcomes in vasomotor symptoms and sexual problems (particularly vaginal dryness). • HRT can be of benefit for many of the postmenopausal mood changes, pain perception and social functioning, sexual problems and vasomotor symptoms • untreated women have a 40-50% increase in the risk of suffering from anxiety and sexual problems, with an almost 3- fold increase in the incidence of hot flushes and sweats Lombardia Terapie e Peso 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 ND <50 51<>60 61<>70 71<>80 Fascie di Peso 81<>90 >90 Progetto Menopausa Italia Statistiche per la regione Lombardia Situazione al 24/02/2000 Situazione SPAC Lombardia al 24/02/2000 Spac 1300 1301 1302 1303 1304 1305 1306 1307 1308 1309 1310 1311 1312 1313 1314 1315 1316 1318 1319 Struttura Ospedale S.
