Objective:

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of vasomotor and mood symptoms on insomnia in postmenopausal women.

Methods:

One hundred sixty-three postmenopausal women, not receiving hormone therapy, attending a menopause clinic at the University of Athens, Greece, were included in this cross-sectional study. Climacteric symptoms were assessed by Greene's scale, whereas psychological morbidity was measured by Zung Self-Assessment Depression Scale, Symptom Checklist-90-R, and Athens Insomnia Scale.

Results:

Vasomotor symptoms were significantly associated with insomnia (P= 0.001). When depressive symptomatology was added to the logistic regression analysis, the predictive ability of the model was significantly improved as defined by the increase in the log likelihood (P< 0.001) and the increase in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve.
