AnnotationInterviews by a psychologist were obtained from a clinic based sample of 1500 Turkish women aged 41 to 70 and living mainly in an urban area. The study included only women who had undergone natural menopause and had their last menstrual bleeding at least one year previously. The most common symptoms were muscle and/or joint and/or bone pain (82.3%) and hot flushes (73.9%). Although the population was clinic based, this study is the first one of its kind of Turkish women.
