Abstract:

Menopause is an important period in a woman’s life marked by the cessation of the menstrual cycle, which results in various changes in the life of women. BMI also controls menstrual irregularities. This study aims to find out the association between Body mass index and Menopausal health-related problems among women. The present study was conducted on 200 menopausal women of the Ambedkar Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh using Anthropometric measurements and the MRS scale. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation test. The findings revealed that BMI is positively correlated with MRS (r = 0.015) and Urogenital problems (r = 0.090). In contrast, BMI shows a negative correlation with somatic problems (r = -0.012) and psychological problems (r = -0.104).
