MATUD AZNAR, Ma Pilar; CORREA REVERON, Ma Concepción y GARCIA PEREZ, Livia. Relevance of the Menopause and Social Support in Gender Differences in Health. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.1, pp.176-186. ISSN 1657-9267. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.upsy16-1.rmas.
This study examined the relevance of the menopause and social support in gender differences in health. A cross-sectional survey of a general population sample comprising 710 women and 606 men, aged between 20 and 65 was carried out. No health differences were found between younger men and women. However, perimenopausal women reported more insomnia and vasomotor symptoms, as well as they reported more pain than men through the postmenopause. Perceived social support was associated with better health, especially in premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
