Abstract
- Objective: Although menopausal symptoms are an important issue for female workers, their association with work-related factors is not well studied. Here, we explored the association between work-related factors and menopausal symptoms in Japan.<br />Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 among all 1465 female employees of a large Japanese company. Associations between occupational factors and moderate or severe menopausal symptoms, as measured by the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), were examined using logistic regression analysis.<br />Results: Several workplace-related factors were significantly associated with moderate or severe menopausal symptoms, including company support and the number of night shifts. A marginally significant association was also seen for commuting time.<br />Conclusions: Workplace menopause interventions for the factors identified in this study may satisfy unmet needs.<br />Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest statement: None declared.<br /> (Copyright © 2024 American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.)
