[Health education during menopause. A long-range evaluation].
After annually evaluating the repercussions that a health program during menopause has on women, The authors carry out a study to determine if the results obtained last over a much longer time period. This cross-sectional study was carried out in 1998 on a random sample taken from all the women who participated in this program during the years 1995 and 1996. Furthermore, the authors made comparisons between both sample year groups. The study results demonstrate that once women have acquired the knowledge necessary to serve as a foundation to practice healthy habits, they integrate these habits into their life style on a permanent basis. Part of this paper was presented orally in the Andalucian Conference on Nursing in Gynecology which took place in November 1998 in Seville.
