Susumeno, skim milk fortified with 100 mg of soy isoflavone and 8 mg of Zn was given to premenopausal women for decreqsing menop~usal syndrome. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of susumeno on menopausal syndrome in premenopausal women. About 33 premenopausal women aged 43-52 years old in Puwokerto were choosen as respsndent. Their menopausal syndrome were identified by using questioner. The answers were scored from 1 to 5 ; i.e., 7 = not detected; 2 = less detected; 3 = mildly detected; 4 = detected; 5 = much detected. It was revealed that some of menopausal syndromes had significantly decreased, especially vaginal dryness from less detectad to not detect& (p:0,01); fatigue from mildly detected to not detectad (p=4,07E-05); mindless from mildly detected to not detected (p=0,022); and dyspareunia from less detected to not detected (p=0,036). | id |
