Resumo: AIMS: The authors wish to contribute to the analysis of menopause from the perspective of Gerontology, deepening discussions on issues such as relations between longevity and reproduction, offspring, genetics and environment. SOURCE OF DATA: A review of the literature found on MedLine and LILACS, as well as on textbooks on Geriatrics, Gerontology and Gynecology was performed. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: Understanding the complex phenomenon of female aging is still evolving today. Menopause is part of that process and, as well as life history, reproductive traits and fecundity, it is related to longevity. Menopause should not be viewed as a disease; however, as it is associated with symptoms and physical signs that can compromise women’s quality of life, it deserves a systemic therapeutic approach, involving from changes in lifestyle, such as physical activity and diet, to hormone replacement. CONCLUSIONS: Menopause is part of the aging process of all women, and it brings along important biological, psychological, and social consequences. In the contemporary view, the combination therapy for signs and symptoms related to menopause are increasingly tailored to the profile of lifestyle and health of women.

FONTE DE DADOS: foi realizada uma revisão da literatura através da identificação, leitura e síntese de artigos indexados nas bases Medline e LILACS. Adicionalmente, foram consultados livros de Geriatria, Gerontologia e Ginecologia. SÍNTESE DOS DADOS: o entendimento do complexo fenômeno de envelhecimento feminino ainda está evoluindo nos dias de hoje. A menopausa faz parte desse processo e, assim como a história de vida, as características reprodutivas e a fecundidade, tem relação com a longevidade. Não é considerada doença, entretanto, como está associada a sintomas e sinais físicos que podem comprometer a qualidade de vida das mulheres, merece uma abordagem terapêutica sistêmica, que envolva desde a revisão e/ou modificações nos hábitos de vida, como alimentação e atividade física, até a utilização de reposição hormonal. CONCLUSÕES: a menopausa é um fenômeno inserido no processo de envelhecimento feminino e traz consigo consequências biológicas, psicológicas e sociais importantes. Na visão contemporânea, a terapêutica associada aos sinais e sintomas relacionados à menopausa está cada vez mais personalizada de acordo com o perfil de estilo de vida e saúde da mulher.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2010-04-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/scientiamedica/article/view/5893Scientia Medica; Vol. 20 No. 2 (2010); 176-184Scientia Medica; v. 20 n. 2 (2010); 176-1841980-61081806-5562reponame:Scientia Medica (Porto Alegre.
