Abstract
Objective: The importance of information related to quality of life (QoL) in middle-aged
women, measured by climacteric symptoms and self-perception of health, has been
emphasized by previous studies. However, there is a lack of research systematically
analyzing the impact of chronic diseases on these symptoms. Thus, our aim was to examine
the associations between them.
