Abstract

The purpose of this non-experimental study was to determine if menopause has an effect on marital satisfaction, depression, and weight gain in women. Participants were a convenience sample of 100 volunteers. The participants completed a survey to determine the effects of menopause on marital satisfaction, depression, and weight gain. An analysis of the results revealed that menopause does not have a significant impact on marital satisfaction or weight gain. The results did reveal a significant connection between menopause and depression.
