dc.description.abstractFor many women in the United States, the perimenopause is characterized by irregu lar menstrual cycles and menopausal discomforts (e.g. hot flashes). Clinically, there is great intra- and inter-individual variation in hormone levels. The purpose of this study was to assess variation in urinary LHlevels in relation to menopausal hot flashes. Data were drawn from a study of the menopause transition in Western Massachusetts (n=155). Urine samples from women aged 45 and older who reported at least one menstrual period within the 12 months prior to interview were tested for elevated LH levels using OvuKIT Self-Test (n=54). In this preliminary report, hot flash frequency varied in relation to phases of the menstrual cycle (p<.05). High/low levels of urinary LHby menstrual cycle phase (i.e., "on-time" vs. "off-time" elevated LH levels) were not assodated with hot flash experience, although the expected trend was demonstrated.eng
dc.description.abstractA peri-menopausa da mulhere nos Estados Unidos da America e caracterizada por ciclos menstruais irregulares e varies factores de desconforto como, por exemplo, os "calores" ou "afrontamentos". Fisiologicamente, neste periodo da vida da mulher existe uma grande intra- e inter - variabilidade individual nos niveis hormonais. 0 objectivo deste trabalho foi determinar a variacao urinaria dos niveis de LH em relacao aos "calores" associados amenopausa. Os dados foram obtidos dum estudo da transicao da menopausa em Massachusetts (N=155). As amostras de urina de mulheres com 45 ou mais anos que confirmaram terem tido pelo menos urn periodo menstrual nos 12 meses antes da entrevista foram testadas para avaliar os niveis de LHutilizando 0 Teste OvuKIT (N=54). Neste estudo preliminar, a frequencia de "calores" variaram em relacao afase do cicio menstrual (p<O.05). Niveis altos/baixos de LH urinario por fase do cicio menstrual nao estiveram associados com a experiencia de "calores", embora a tendencia esperada tivesse sido demonstrada.por
