Mechanism: We searched all articles (published in peer-reviewed journals up to March 2021) related to menopausal symptoms, sexual dysfunction, and chronic complications in postmenopausal women affected by VAW. Findings in brief : The literature search strategy identified 194 articles, of which 19 were selected for analysis. All articles described cross-sectional or cohort studies concerning menopausal or genitourinary symptoms, psychological health, physical conditions, sexual health, and cardiovascular or metabolic problems. The analyzed data set included 16436 women who reported experiencing violence in the USA, Brazil, and Australia. The combined data on the effect of VAW on menopausal symptoms suggest that the risk of suffering from such effects is 1.51 (95% CI: 1.23–1.86), while for sexual health, the risk was 1.4875 (95% CI: 1.2060–1.8346). Conclusions: A history of VAW increases the symptoms of menopause and worsens the physical conditions and sexual and psychological health after the age of 40. Thus, it is essential to investigate these antecedents in routine clinical practice when treating menopausal women with additional symptoms and to warn of the long-term general health risks for any woman who has experienced an episode of violence.IMR20212021-12-15journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://hdl.handle.net/10481/72476https://dx.doi.org/10.31083/j.ceog4806205reponame:Digibug.
