Background: Climacteric symptoms have a direct relationship with biological and sociocultural factors and significantly impair the quality of life of women.
Aim: To assess quality of life and factors affecting it in women aged 40 to 59 years.
Material And Methods: The Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) was applied to 370 healthy women aged 49 +/- 6 years, that accompanied patients to public hospitals in Santiago.
Background: Although several tools have been designed to assess quality of life (QoL) among middle-aged women their capacity to specifically assess sexual dysfunction (SD) remains uncertain. Moreover, if SD impairs QoL within this population, then sexual assessment becomes a key issue.
Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) in diagnosing SD among climacteric women.
