The total score ofthe MRS was: 15.9±9.6, and the most prevalent symptoms were: sleep disturbance(91.3%), physical-mental fatigue (91.3%) and muscle-joint discomfort (89.9%), withhigh deterioration of the urogenital domain. 50% of women had severe deterioration ofthe quality of life, with high prevalence of symptomatology, as much in premenopausalas in postmenopausal women. 77% of the population presented sexual dysfunctionwith higher prevalence in postmenopausal women. The most impaired domain was paincoital penetration.Conclusions: in women with mestizo phenotypic traits and who were native frompopulations where settlements existed, it was observed early menopause and earlydeterioration of the urogenital domain, similar to the observed in indigenous populations.Rev.cienc.biomed. 2014:5(1):45-65KEYWORDSClimacteric, Menopause, Quality of life, Sexual dysfunction
