Abstract:

The goal of this study was to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with negative self-rated health in menopausal women enrolled in the Family Health Strategy in a Brazilian urban center. It is a cross-sectional study with a random sample of women at menopausal transition. A validated instrument addressing socio-demographic, behavioral, related to health variables and self-rated health was used. The association between the variables and negative self-rated health was assessed by bivariate analysis followed by Poisson regression with robust variance, in a hierarchical model. The prevalence of negative self-rated health among the population studied was 41.6%, among 761 women. Among women aged 52-65 years old, 49.2% had negative self-rated health. Age corresponding to postmenopause, education up to eight years of study, having a partner, do not have a formal job, current tobacco use and physical inactivity were associated with negative self-rated health. Moreover, the presence of climacteric symptoms, overweight and obesity, the current use of drugs and the presence of chronic diseases were also associated with negative self-rated health in the final model. The observed associations point to the need for health promotion activities aimed at menopausal women.
