Menopausal syndrome has been a problem world wide. Many researches have shown that soy-isoflavone can be a potential alternative to reduce menopausal syndrome. Physical activity and nutritional status also have roles in menopausal syndrome. Menopausal syndrome includes menopausal symptoms, self-images, and anxiety. The objectives of this research were to determine the relationship among physical activity, nutritional status, and the habitual of soy and soy-product consumption with menopausal syndrome. This was a purposed retrospective research. A population of Adult and Elder Women Life-skill Program was being involved in this research. The total sample that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria was 31 menopausal women as one population. Mostly (48.4%) samples were low educated and had family income between Rp 1 000 000 – 3 000 000 per month. The mean age was 64.5 ± 9.0 years old and had menarche at aged 13.5 ± 1.7 years old. The mean of physical activity was categorized as light (PAL = 1.69). Mostly samples were overweight (45.2%) and had an average soy and soy-product consumption (71%) that fulfilled 25% of the RDA of isoflavone consumption. The result of Pearson correlation test showed that physical activity had significant relationship with self images (r = -0.454, p < 0.05) and the consumption of soy isoflavone had significant relationship with anxiety (r = -0.445, p < 0.05). The result of multiple linear regression showed that nutritional status and soy isoflavone consumption affected menopausal symptoms. Physical activity affected self-images (R2 =0.206, p < 0.05) and soy consumption affected anxiety (R2 = 0.198, p < 0.05). Nutritional status dan soy isoflavon consumption affected symptons of menopause (R2 = 0.198, p < 0.05). Generally, physical activity, nutritional status, and soy isoflavone consumption have role in menopausal syndrome (R2 = 0.190, p < 0.05). Healthy lifestyle that promotes physical activity and soy consumption habit and maintain nutritional status may reduce menopausal syndrome.
