Purpose: to compare bone mineral density (BMD) of postmenopausal women with and without the antecedent of tubal ligation, as well as to evaluate the associated factors that affect the bone mineral density of femur and lumbar spine of both groups. Methods: 70 postmenopausal women in each group were analyzed at CAISM-UNICAMP, during the year of 1998. All women answered a questionnaire about some clinical and reproductive characteristics and underwent bone densitometry (Lunar DPX) to measure bone mineral density of the femur and lumbar spine. Statistical analyses were performed using Student's t-test, Fisher`s exact test, Pearson c² test, Bonferroni`s test and multiple regression analysis. Results: mean age of patients was 53.2 years and for controls it was 52.6 years. Mean age of 48 years at menopause was similar in both groups. Mean age at tubal ligation surgery was 33.7 years and time since surgery was 18 years. The multiple comparison of the average bone mineral density of femur and lumbar spine did not show statistical differences between the groups. The percentage distribution of the T-score categories of femur and lumbar spine, classified into normal and altered, also did not show statistical differences between both groups. Multiple regression analysis showed that bone mineral density of femur was directly associated with body mass index, but age was indirectly associated. The variables dark skin, parity, age at menopause, educational level and body mass index were directly associated with bone mineral density of lumbar spine, but age at menarche was inversely associated. Conclusion: these findings suggest that tubal ligation does not seem to cause an additional reduction in bone mineral density when evaluated in postmenopause.

PURPOSE: to translate into Brazilian Portuguese and culturally adapt the Short Personal Experiences Questionnaire (SPEQ) to climacteric women. METHODS: the original English version from the University of Melbourne, Australia, was initially translated into Portuguese and back-translated into English. A sociocultural adaptation of vocabulary and linguistic constructions was performed to facilitate comprehension. The questionnaire was then pretested in successive stages in 50 women, until no doubts remained. The final version of the adapted instrument was self-responded by 378 Brazilian-born women, between 40 to 65 years old, with 11 years or more of schooling in a population-based study. The reliability (internal consistency as measured by Cronbach's alpha), the construct validity (correlation coefficients between the items comprising the SPEQ and selected variables) and the criterion validity (correlation coefficient between sexual dysfunction score and overall score of sexual life classification) were analyzed. RESULTS: one hundred and eight women answered all the questions of the SPEQ and were included in the study. Internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) for all the nine SPEQ items ranged from 0.55 to 0.77 and the general alpha was 0.68. In the construct validity analysis, most of the correlation coefficients were significant (p<0.005). The criterion validity analysis showed significant correlation coefficients in most cases. CONCLUSIONS: following the adaptation process, the Portuguese version of the SPEQ was deemed useful and appropriate for collecting data on sexual function and dyspareunia in Brazilian women, aged 45 to 65 years, with at least 11 years of schooling.

PURPOSE: to identify factors associated with the occurrence of hot flashes in climacteric women living in Campinas, São Paulo. METHODS: data bank secondary analysis of a cross-sectional descriptive population-based study. The selection of 456 women aged 45-60 years was done through area cluster sampling. Data were collected via home interviews using structured, pre-tested questionnaires provided by the International Health Foundation/International Menopause Society and by the North American Menopause Society and adapted by the authors. The analyzed variables were age, race, use of contraceptive methods and hormonal therapy, tubal ligation, body mass index, menopausal status, time since menopause, hysterectomy, and cigarette smoking. Statistical analysis was performed using the mean, median and the prevalence ratio (PR). Multiple logistic regression was performed using the stepwise selection process with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). RESULTS: bivariate analysis showed that postmenopausal women (PR: 1.42, CI 95%: 1.06-1.90) and those who were submitted to hysterectomy (PR: 1.50, CI 95%: 1.05-2.14) had a significantly greater chance of presenting hot flashes. After applying multiple regression analysis, there was no significant association between hot flashes and any of the evaluated variables. CONCLUSION: results were consistent with previous studies. Many doubts still exist about which factors are associated with hot flashes.
