ABSTRACT
Introduction: Climacteric is a period of hormonal changes associated with depression.
Objective: To determine the magnitude of the association between climacteric and depressive symptoms in Mexican women.
Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient service of Hospital Juarez de Mexico, between March 2012 and December 2013. Five hundred and thirty four women, 40 to 65 years were included. Severity of depressive symptoms was assessed using two scales (Hamilton scale [HS] and Beck depression inventory [BDI]) and climacteric symptoms using Greene scale (GS). Association between climacteric and depressive symptoms was analyzed using logistic regression.
Results: Women with moderate to severe climacteric symptoms were up to 7.82 (5.17-11.81) and 8.12 (5.51-11.98) times more likely to have moderate depressive symptoms using HS and BDI respectively. Normal or mild climacteric symptoms are protective factors for moderate to severe depressive symptoms [HS: OR (IC 95%) 0.196 (0.123-0-134), p = 0.000 and BDI: OR 0.172 (0.110-0.271), p = 0.000].
Conclusion: Based on the significant association between climacteric symptoms and severity of depressive symptoms, it is mandatory to include a comprehensive approach during transition to menopause, to early detect and treat both depression and climacteric symptoms.
