Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to see the effect of demographic variables on
experience of menopausal symptoms among premenopausal, perimenopausal, and
postmenopausal women. Sample of study was comprised of 348 women (116 for each
menopausal status). Menopausal symptoms were assessed by Greene Climacteric Symptoms
Scale (Greene, 1998). Two-way ANOVA analyses of demographic variables indicated that
working women experienced fewer menopausal symptoms than non-working. The mean
scores indicate that in all three groups of menopausal stages (pre-, peri-, and
postmenopausal), women with lower level of education experience more menopausal
symptoms than women with higher level of education.
