Abstract：Objective: To understand the menopause related symptoms and their influencing factors of perimenopausal women, and to provide reference basis for strengthening perimenopausal health management. Methods: An investigation was made on 2 965 women aged 40-65 in Wenzhou by cluster random sampling. The incidence of menopause related symptoms was evaluated by the modified Kupperman score scale. Results: The detection rate of perimenopausal syndrome in women aged 40-65 was 68.20%. The top five reporting rates of main symptoms of perimenopausal syndrome were fatigue in 1 948 cases (65.70%), anxiety in 1 785 cases (60.20%), insomnia in 1 638 cases of (55.24%), bone and joint pain in 1 506 cases (50.79%) and decreased sexual desire in 1 466 cases of (49.44%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed the incidence of perimenopausal syndrome was relatively low among those who were younger than 45 years old, married, medical and educational workers, non-postmenopausal, and those who did not expect menopause, and 70.22% of the surveyed women said they had a demand for perimenopausal health management services. Conclusion: The detection rate of perimenopausal syndrome among women aged 40-65 in Wenzhou is high, and so is the demand for perimenopausal women health management. Therefore, it is necessary to popularize perimenopausal health care knowledge and improve perimenopausal health management so as to promote women’s health level.
