Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the severity of climacteric symptoms among two Peruvian communities, adjusted for sociodemographic and clinical variables in climacteric women. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 90 subjects from two different communities (an urban coastal and a rural Andean district from Peru). The Menopause Rating Scale was used to assess climacteric symptoms. Prevalence ratios with 95% confidence interval (PR 95%CI) were estimated using generalized linear Poisson models with family robust standard errors. A higher probability of severe climacteric symptoms was found in women who were from the Andean community than those who were from the coastal one (PR 2.42, 95%CI 1.47-3.99; p=0.001), which remained in the adjusted model (RP 1.72, 95%CI 1.04-2.86; p=0.035). Understanding the variation of climacteric symptoms among geographically distinct communities could contribute to improving women's quality of life.

A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted from February to April 2019 among Peruvian women from two different locations: Chincheros (3800 m above sea level), a rural district located in Apurímac, an Andean region in southern-central Peru; and San Bartolo (30 m above sea level), an urban district located at the south of Lima, a coastal region and the capital city of Peru
