Abstrakt: Objectives: Evaluate the association of self-reported vasomotor symptom (VMS) frequency with race/ethnicity among a diverse midlife US population and explore menopause symptom differences by dietary soy isoflavone (genistein+daidzein) consumption.
Study Design: Cross-sectional population-based study of peri- and postmenopausal women, ages 45-58.
Outcomes: Recent VMS frequency, VMS ever; recent symptom bother (hot flashes, night sweats, headache and joint-ache).
Results: Of 18,500 potentially eligible women, 9325 returned questionnaires (50.4% response); 3691 were excluded (premenopausal, missing data, taking hormones). Of 5634 remaining women, 82.1% reported hot flashes ever, 73.1% reported night sweats ever; 48.8% and 38.6% reported recent hot flashes or night sweats, respectively. Compared with White women, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, other Asian (each p<0.001) and Filipino (p<0.01) women less commonly reported ever having hot flashes; Asian women less commonly reported recent VMS bother (p<0.001). Black women more commonly reported hot flashes ever (p<0.05) and recent VMS bother (p<0.05). Compared with non-Hispanic White women, Hispanic women were less likely to report hot flashes (p<0.05) or night sweats (p<0.001) ever. Women were classified by isoflavone consumption: (1) none (n=1819), (2) 0.01-4.30 mg/day (n=1931), (3) 4.31-24.99 mg/day (n=1347) and (4) ≥ 25 mg/day (n=537). There were no group differences in recent VMS number/day: (1) 7.0 (95% CI 6.5, 7.5); (2) 6.4 (95% CI 6.0, 7.1); (3) 7.0 (95% CI 6.3, 8.2); and (4) 6.8 (95% CI 6.1, 7.7).
Conclusions: Menopausal symptoms, independent of isoflavone intake, varied considerably by race/ethnicity and were least common among Asian races.
