This is a cross-sectional, observational and analytical study carried out in two cities in the Northeast of Brazil (Parnamirim and Santa Cruz). Additional information about the cities can be obtained in other studies [7, 11].

The study population consisted of women aged 40 to 80 years. To be eligible for the study, participants should meet the following inclusion criteria be clinically healthy at the time of the interview, have not undergone bilateral oopherectomy or hysterectomy, and do not have neurological diseases or other conditions that could compromise any stage of data assessment.

The project was advertised in the Basic Health Units of the municipalities, with the sample formed by convenience, from the women who participated in the health examinations of the Menopausa Saudável Project [7, 11]. In these studies, 708 participants were evaluated, of which, for the present study, 115 were excluded because they did not present all the necessary data related to biochemical tests or were part of other studies in the research group, totaling 593 women.
