Avaliou-se Transtornos Psiquiátricos Menores (TPM) pelo Self Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) e Sintomas do climatério pelo Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). Criou-se um escore para sintomas do climatério e categorizado em 3 níveis de sintomas: nenhum/leves; moderados; e altos/muito altos. Foram calculadas as razões de chances brutas e ajustadas, com seus respectivos intervalos de confiança de 95%, utilizandose Regressão Logística Ordinal. A prevalência de sintomas do climatério nenhum/ leves foi de 34,1% (IC 95% 30,3-37,9); moderados 29,6% (IC 95% 25,8-33,1) e altos/ muito altos 36,3% (IC 95% 32,4-40,0). A prevalência de TPM foi de 66,6% (IC 95% 62,8-70,3). Após ajuste, mulheres acima de 50 anos, com companheiro, de menor escolaridade, fumantes, com maior número de gestações durante a vida reprodutiva, obesas, em uso de medicação psicotrópica e que estavam na pós-menopausa apresentaram maior chance de ter sintomas do climatério. Apresentar TPM esteve associado a uma chance cerca de 8 vezes maior para sintomas do climatério, quando comparadas com aquelas mulheres sem estes transtornos. Os TPM estão fortemente associados à presença de sintomas do climatério, independente de fatores sociodemográficos, comportamentais, reprodutivos e uso de medicação psicotrópica. / This paper is about a cross-sectional study which aimed to investigate the relationship between minor psychiatric disorders and climacteric symptoms as well as the associated factors in 615 women, aged from 40 to 65 years, assisted at an outpatient climacterium and gynecological surgery clinic of the public health system in the south of Brazil. Minor Psychiatric Disorders were evaluated by Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the symptoms of menopause by Menopause Rating Scale (MRS). A score for climacteric symptoms was created and categorized in 3 levels of symptoms: none / mild, moderate, and high / very high. The unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios were calculated with their respective confidence intervals of 95%, using Ordinal Logistic Regression. The prevalence of climacteric symptoms none / mild was 34.1% (95% CI 30.3 to 37.9), moderate 29.6% (95% CI 25.8 to 33.1) and high / very high 36.3% (95% CI 32.4 to 40.0). The prevalence of minor psychiatric disorders was 66.6% (95% CI 62.8 to 70.3). After adjustment, women over 50 years old with a partner, less educated, smokers, with more pregnancies during reproductive life, overweight, on medication for nerves and who were in their postmenopausal had a higher occurrence of climacteric symptoms. Minor psychiatric disorders led to 8 times higher chance for climacteric symptoms compared with those without these disorders. The minor psychiatric disorders are strongly associated with the presence of climacteric symptoms, independent of sociodemographic, behavioral, reproductive factors, and the use of psychotropic medication.
