Perimenopausal disorders: Age-related, psychological, and social predictors of their emergence

Perimenopausal disorders belong to serious problems involving the medico-biological, psychosocial, and socio-cultural aspects of the lives of the women who entered the perimenopausal period (climacterium). A contingent of perimenopausal women surveyed within a biopsychosocial approach was subdivided into the basic group represented by 416 female subjects with climacteric syndrome aged from 42 to 55 years and the control group numbered 138 women with a normal course of their perimenopausal period. Psychosomatic dysfunctions of a multifactorial (biopsychosocial) genesis have been revealed in more than 70% of the women in different age groups with climacteric disorders. Our analysis of the pathogenetical basis underlying the development of their perimenopausal disorders has shown the interdependence of inherited, perinatal, psychological, familial, and societal factors.
