ABSTRACT

Menopause is a natural phenomenon every woman experiences at a certain age.

Clinically, the onset of menarche and menopause is an important indicator of chronic

illnesses risks such as heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis that will affect the quality of a

woman’s life besides mortality. Demographic and industrial pollution factors affect the

onset of menopause besides menstruation, menarche onset, reproductive, family and

genetic, and lifestyle history, and others not yet revealed. Age range for menopause is quite

wide from 40-60 years. In developed countries, average menopause age is 51 yo, whereas in

developing countries it is between 44-46 yo. Indonesia is one of the countries with high

pollution rates, where Bandung and other areas surrounding it is densely populated and

industrialized. This research aimed to obtain data of the age of menarche and menopause

onset at industrial areas. The research was conducted at Cijerah Village, Bandung Kulon

Subdistrict and Padamulya Village, Majalaya Subdistrict. The design used in this research

was cross-sectional, descriptive, analytic. The method applied was a survey towards 100

woman aged ranging from menarche until menopause. The expected result was to obtain

data of menarche and menopause onset age at industrial areas. There was significant

association between menopause onset and the distance of the house to the factory, and each

respondents’s menarche or menopause onset with birth mother.

Key words: menarche, menopause, industrial pollution
