Abstrakt: Objective: This study aimed to assess whether prior knowledge of computer use determines performance of virtual reality tasks by postmenopausal women and whether menopausal symptoms, sociodemographic factors, lifestyle and cognition modify or interfere with their performance.
Method: This cross-sectional study included 152 postmenopausal women divided into two groups: computer users and non-users. Age, ethnicity, time of menopause, menopausal symptoms, female health status, level of physical activity and cognitive function were considered. The participants played a virtual reality game and were assessed for hits, errors, omissions and game time. The Mann-Whitney, chi-square and Fisher exact tests and multivariate linear regression analysis were used.
Results: Postmenopausal computer users play virtual reality games ( p  = 0.005) better than postmenopausal non-users of computers. Vasomotor symptoms were high in women who used computers compared to those who did not ( p  = 0.006). Multivariate linear regression analysis found that the best-fitting predictors for the number of hits - that is, age ( p  = 0.039), Mini-Mental State Examination score ( p  = 0.006) and the headache symptom ( p  = 0.021) - influence the performance of virtual reality tasks.
Conclusion: Computer users performed virtual reality tasks better than non-users. Headache and age but not vasomotor symptoms negatively affected the postmenopausal women's performance.
