    "abstract": "To investigate how a range of variables, both physiological (sleep architecture, serum follicle-stimulating hormone (S-FSH), anthropometric and blood pressure measures) and non-physiological (stressful life events, education), are associated with symptoms of distress, anxiety, and depression from premenopause to postmenopause and at postmenopause.\nWe recruited 64 women (ages 45-47). Data were derived from an in-house questionnaire, the Brief Symptom Inventory, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, a sleep questionnaire, physiological measurements, and polysomnography at baseline and at ten-year follow-up.\nDuring the follow-up, an increase in weight was associated with an increase in anxiety as recorded by the Brief Symptom Inventory (p\u00a0=\u00a00.012, R\nThe change in psychological symptoms during the follow-up was modest. At postmenopause, distress and depressive symptoms were associated with a range of physiological and non-physiological parameters, but state anxiety only with physiological parameters. At postmenopause, psychological symptoms were more sensitive to sleep disruptions than were vasomotor symptoms.",
