This study describes reproductive health, use of contraception, age at menopause, the prevalence of climacteric complaints, and hormone replacement therapy among Estonian women born in 1937\u201347. <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. A sample of 800 Estonian women born in 1937\u201347 was composed at random from the Estonian population registry in 1997. A postal questionnaire was sent to all participants. <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. Curettage before menopause (16.6%, 95%CI = 13.5\u201320.0) and hysterectomy (11.7, 95%CI = 9.0\u201314.8) were the most common gynecological operations. 66.7% (95%CI = 62.5\u201370.6) of women had never used contraception, with the most popular method of contraception being intrauterine device (19.9%, 95%CI = 16.6\u201323.6). About three quarters of the respondents had had induced abortions, with 30.4% (95%CI = 26.5\u201334.4) having had three or more abortions. After exclusion of women with surgical menopause (57 cases, 10.6%, 95%CI = 8.1\u201313.5), women who were unable to assess the time of menopause (17 cases, 3.2%, 95%CI = 1.8\u20135.0), and those who were still menstruating (73 cases, 13.6%, 95%CI = 10.8\u201316.8), the average age of menopause (based on 388 study subjects) was 50.3 (95%CI = 49.9\u201350.6) years. The prevalence of climacteric complaints was as follows: hot flushes 51.0% (95%CI = 46.7\u201355.3), night sweats 44.1% (95%CI = 39.9\u201348.4%), depression\/irritability 35.6% (95%CI = 31.5\u201339.8), bleeding problems 10.1% (95%CI = 7.6\u201312.9). Hormone replacement therapy was currently being used by 8 respondents (1.5%, 95%CI = 0.6\u20132.9). Previous hormone replacement therapy use was reported by 4 (0.7%, 95%CI = 0.2\u20132.9) of the women. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. The feminine life\u2010course of women born in Estonia in 1937\u201347 is characterized by a high number of induced abortions and hysterectomies, and relatively little contraceptive use. Hormone replacement therapy use is very low.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1080\/00016340500409653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,8]],"date-time":"2009-12-08T17:35:13Z","timestamp":1260293713000},"page":"224-228","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Feminine life\u2010course of Estonian women born in 1937\u201347: A questionnaire survey"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"85","author":[{"given":"FRED","family":"KIRSS","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"KATRIN","family":"LANG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"RISTO","family":"TUIMALA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","volume-title":"WHO Technical Report Series","author":"WHO Scientific Group on Research on the Menopause in the 1990s","year":"1996"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003081-197612000-00005"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1016\/S0306-3356(21)00374-5","article-title":"Oestrogen therapy and the menopausal syndrome","volume":"4","author":"Campbell S","year":"1977","journal-title":"Clin Obstet Gynaecol"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0378-5122(95)00917-A"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00005053-199608000-00001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(95)90304-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6874-4-S1-S23"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0378-5122(99)00047-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016349609047101"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1471-0528.2004.00431.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_2","volume-title":"European Health for all Database","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_2","unstructured":"HaldreK.Abort on osa seksuaalkultuuri p\u00e4randist.
