Perimenoapuse: Does it affect quality of life among middle aged women?

Vishranti Bhagwan Giri, Prof. Vaishali Taksande

Abstract :

Quality of life is the general well-being of individuals and societies, outlining negative and positive features of life. It observes life satisfaction, including everything from physical health, family, education, employment, wealth, safety, and security to freedom, religious beliefs, and the environment. It has a wide range of contexts, including the fields of international development, healthcare, politics and employment. It is important not to mix up the concept of quality of life with a more recent growing area of health related quality of life.[1]

In reviewing quality of life research it is evident that different studies have used widely different definitions and methods of assessing quality of life.[2]

Today, with increasing life expectancy and life span, women spend one-third of their lifetime after menopause. Menopause is an adaptation process during which women go through a new biological state. This process is accompanied by many biological and psychosocial changes.[3]

A large number of women all over the world suffer from perimenopausal symptoms and the problem cannot be ignored. Education, creating awareness and providing suitable intervention to improve the quality of life are important social and medical issues which are to be necessary. [4]
