title: [Incidence of climacteric syndrome].
abstract: A retrospective study on 300 women who attended the menopausal out-patient clinic of Physiopathology of Human Reproduction at Bari University Hospital from 1994 to 1995, was carried out to evaluate the incidence of climacteric syndrome in premenopause together with its correlations with the social and cultural environment. The results don't show differences between spontaneous and surgical menopause, and minor differences with premenopause. No relationship has been discovered between the onset of the menarche and the onset of spontaneous menopause. The hot flushes are more frequent in women with low level of learning.
