自我报告的绝经状态和绝经年龄的准确性在一项验证研究中进行了分析，使用妇科医生的医疗记录作为参考。在151名妇女中评估了两种来源对绝经状态的一致性。kappa系数为0.85 （95% CI, 0.69-1.00）。对57名妇女进行了绝经年龄一致性测试，获得的kappa系数为0.64 （95% CI, 0.34-0.94）。32%的受试者准确地报告了绝经年龄。当考虑1年和2年协议时，这一比例分别增加到69%和86%。这些结果表明，女性可以提供足够准确的自然绝经史数据，以检验与她们健康状况演变有关的一些假设。(C) 1998爱思唯尔科学爱尔兰有限公司版权所有。
The accuracy of self-reported menopausal status and age at menopause has been analysed in a validation study using the gynecologist's medical records as the reference. Concordance between the two sources for menopausal status was assessed in 151 women. The kappa coefficient obtained was 0.85 (95% CI, 0.69-1.00). Agreement on age at menopause was tested in 57 women and the kappa coefficient obtained was 0.64 (95% CI, 0.34-0.94). Age at menopause was accurately reported by 32% of the subjects. This percentage increased to 69 and 86% when agreement within 1 and 2 year(s) was considered, respectively. These results suggest that women can provide data on their natural menopause history with sufficient accuracy to test some hypotheses associating this event with the evolution of their health status.
