    Area of Science:

    • Sociology
    • Psychology
    • Anthropology
    • Women's Health

    Background:

    • Menopause is a significant life transition for women.
    • Cultural factors may influence the experience of menopausal symptoms.
    • Previous research has not fully explored ethnic variations in menopause within Israeli women.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate menopausal symptoms and attitudes across five ethnic groups in Israel.
    • To determine the influence of ethnic origin on somatic, psychic, and psychosomatic menopausal symptoms.
    • To examine the relationship between cultural origin, general health, and menopausal symptomatology.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of 1,148 Israeli women from diverse ethnic backgrounds.
    • Assessment of menopausal symptoms, attitudes, and general health.
    • Statistical analysis to identify correlations between ethnic origin and menopausal experiences.

    Main Results:

    • Some somatic menopausal symptoms were independent of ethnic origin.
    • Psychic and psychosomatic symptoms showed a stronger association with ethnic origin.
    • General health in menopausal women varied significantly with cultural background.
    • This variation in health correlated with psychic and psychosomatic symptoms during the climacterium.

    Conclusions:

    • Ethnic origin significantly impacts the psychological and psychosomatic aspects of menopause.
    • Cultural background plays a role in the general health of menopausal women.
    • A multifactorial approach, integrating biological, sociological, psychological, and anthropological perspectives, is essential for understanding menopause.
