Özet:

 Objectives: This study aimed to examine the physical activity profile of postmenopausal women and investigate the relationship between physical activity level and the severity of menopausal symptoms during this period. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 125 postmenopausal women age: 56.694.93 years, body mass index: 30.285.10 kgm2. The level of physical activity with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire IPAQ, menopause symptoms severity with the Menopause Rating Scale MRS, and barriers to physical activity with a questionnaire formed by researchers. Results: 51 40.8 of postmenopausal women were inactive, 57 45.6 of them were minimally active, and 17 13.6 of them had very active physical activity levels. The most frequently reported physical activity barriers were I dont have friends to do physical activity with me., I cant do regular physical activity due to my family responsibilities., I dont have the energy to do a physical activityIm too tired. and I prefer to rest or social activities instead of physical therapy. A negative correlation was observed between IPAQ score and MRS total, somatic, psychological, and urogenital scores, respectively rho-0.412, p0.001; rho-0.261, p0.001; rho-0.364, p0.001; rho-0.327, p0.001. Conclusion: This study showed that as the physical activity level decreased, the severity of menopausal symptoms increased in postmenopausal women. Family responsibilities, absence of a physical activity partner, low energyfatigue, and predominance of restsocial activity preference were the leading barriers to physical activity in postmenopausal women.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma postmenopozal dönemdeki kadınların fiziksel aktivite profilini incelemeyi ve bu dönemdeki kadınlarda fiziksel aktivite seviyesi ile menopozal semptomların şiddeti arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçladı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışmaya 125 postmenopozal kadın dahil edildi yaş: 56,694,93 yıl, beden kütle indeksi: 30,285,10 kgm2. Fiziksel aktivite seviyesi Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi UFAA ile, menopoz semptomları şiddeti Menopoz Semptomları Değerlendirme Ölçeği MSDÖ ile ve fiziksel aktivite bariyerleri ise araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan bir anket ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Postmenopozal kadınların 51i 40,8 inaktif, 57si 45,6 minimal aktif ve 17si 13,6 çok aktif fiziksel aktivite seviyesine sahipti. En fazla bildirilen fiziksel aktivite bariyerleri Benimle fiziksel aktivite yapacak arkadaşım yok., Ailesel sorumluluklarımdan dolayı düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapamıyorum., Fiziksel aktivite yapmak için enerjim yokçok yoruluyorum. ve Serbest zamanlarımda fiziksel aktivite yapmak yerine dinlenmeyidiğer sosyal aktiviteleri yapmayı tercih ediyorum. şeklindeydi. UFAA puanı ile sırasıyla MSDÖ toplam, somatik, psikolojik ve ürogenital puanları arasında negatif yönde bir ilişki görüldü rho-0,412, p0,001; rho-0,261, p0,001; rho-0,364, p0,001; rho-0,327, p0,001. Sonuç: Bu çalışma ile postmenopozal dönemdeki kadınlarda fiziksel aktivite seviyesi azaldıkça menopozal semptomların şiddetinin arttığı görüldü. Postmenopozal kadınlarda ailevi sorumluluklar, fiziksel aktivite partnerinin yokluğu, enerji düşüklüğüçabuk yorulma ve dinlenmesosyal aktivite tercihinin baskınlığı fiziksel aktivite için önde gelen bariyerlerdi.
