Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between bone mineral density(BMD), age, weight, visual analog scale(VAS), menopausal rating scale(MRS), and to compare the difference between BMD, age, weight, VAS, MRS according to severity of the menopausal symptoms. Methods : The participants were 62 menopausal women diagnosed with osteoporosis who visited Cheonan Oriental Hospital, Daejeon University from December, 2011 to July, 2014. Age, weight, VAS, MRS were used as an evaluation tool. Results : 1. In all 62 cases of menopausal patients diagnosed with osteoporosis, the study found a statistically significant correlation between BMD and weight, while inverse correlation between BMD and MRS index. 2. Among menopausal patients with above 9 MRS index(group B), BMD and weight showed statistically significant correlation, while VAS and MRS index showed statistically significant inverse correlation. 3. Among group B, VAS were higher compared to control group(group A). Conclusions : This study showed that as patients with severer menopausal symptoms apt to show increased VAS and decreased BMD. Therefore, long-term follow-up in patients with menopausal syndrome is needed to improve the patients' quality of life.
