Each patient has undergone an interview based on the questionnaire, following the verbal consent of the patient who was previously explained nature of the research. Statistical analysis of data was carried out by the usual statistical methods of descriptive statistics, using regression models and "hazard ratio" for the period of life compared to the individual parameters.
Results:
The average age of menopause occurrence in women who gave birth, was somewhat higher (48.6), in comparison to women who did not give birth (47.8), but the difference was not statistically important (t=-1.07, p=0.287). In the study group there was no correlation between the age of menarche occurrence and the age of menopause occurrence.
