Resumo: The comprehensive care to women's health requires assistance in all phases of his life. The climacteric, it comprises a relatively long period of woman's life, deserves increased attention from society because life expectancy after menopause is currently equivalent to the period of reproductive life.

Applied Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) to assess the intensity of climacteric symptoms and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) to assess quality of life. In the data analysis used the Student t test, chi-square and Tukey. HRT users had a mean age of 50.76 ± 3.63 years and nonusers of 48.95 ± 6.27 years (p = 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in marital status (p = <0.001). Users reported a higher frequency of climacteric symptoms of mild to moderate intensity.
