ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The climacteric / menopause is characterized by intense morphophysiological and behavioral changes. The objective was to identify the signs and symptoms of climacteric / menopause and their relationship with the body image of women from the riverside of a region of the Brazilian Amazon. A study included 100 women from six riverside communities in Itaituba / Parß. The instruments used were the sociodemographic questionnaire, the Menopause Signs and Symptoms Scale (MRS) and the Stunkard Silhouettes Scale. To assess associations between categorical variables, Pearson's chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used (p≤0.05). The results indicated that 76% of women were dissatisfied with their body image, either because they wanted to have smaller bodies or larger bodies. Regarding the climacteric / menopause symptoms, these are moderately perceived by women.

Conclusion:

It is necessary to bring women the knowledge of this phase of life and thus promote health in this important period of life.
