Japanese menopausal women who feel cold, even in a warm room, are said to be experiencing "hie-sho." We assessed the magnitude of coldness by a "hie-sho" interview score. The association between the magnitude of coldness and female hormones, fat intake, and menopausal symptoms is unknown. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the relationship between the hie-sho interview scores and female hormones, fat intake, Kupperman index in pre- (pre group) and post- (post group) menopausal women. The hie-sho interview scores, Kupperman index questionnaire results, dietary survey to analyze fat intake, and body weight were analyzed, and plasma estradiol, progesterone, and lipid levels were measured in the subjects in the pre (n = 9) and post (n = 11) groups. Plasma female hormones and fat intake were different, but the total Kupperman index was not different between pre and post groups. Plasma progesterone was positively correlated with the hie-sho score only in the post group. Plasma triglyceride was positively correlated with the hie-sho score only in the pre group. Intake of cholesterol, arachidonic acid, and docosapentaenoic acid was negatively correlated with the hie-sho score only in the pre group. The positive correlation between total Kupperman index and hie-sho score was observed only in the pre group. These results indicated that progesterone level was related to coldness in post-menopausal women. Fat intake, plasma triglyceride, and menopausal symptoms may be related to coldness in pre-menopausal women.

绝经前和绝经后妇女的“ hi-sho”访谈得分与孕酮，脂肪摄入和库珀曼指数之间的相关性：一项初步研究。

据说即使在温暖的房间里也感到寒冷的日本更年期妇女正经历“ hi-sho”。我们通过“ hi-sho”访谈得分评估了感冒的程度。感冒程度与女性荷尔蒙，脂肪摄入和更年期症状之间的关联尚不清楚。本研究的目的是阐明绝经前女性（组前）和女性后（组后）女性的激素，脂肪摄入量，库珀曼指数之间的关系。进行了hie-sho访谈得分，Kupperman指数问卷调查结果，用于分析脂肪摄入和体重的饮食调查，并在受试者之前（n = 9）和之后（n = 9）测量了血浆雌二醇，孕酮和脂质水平。 n = 11）组。血浆女性激素和脂肪摄入量不同，但前组和后组的总Kupperman指数没有差异。仅在后组中血浆孕酮与hie-sho得分呈正相关。仅在前组中血浆甘油三酸酯与hie-sho得分呈正相关。胆固醇，花生四烯酸和二十二碳五烯酸的摄入仅与前组的hie-sho得分呈负相关。仅在前组中观察到总库珀曼指数与hie-sho得分呈正相关。这些结果表明，绝经后妇女的孕酮水平与感冒有关。绝经前妇女的脂肪摄入，血浆甘油三酸酯和更年期症状可能与感冒有关。仅在后组中血浆孕酮与hie-sho得分呈正相关。仅在前组中血浆甘油三酸酯与hie-sho得分呈正相关。胆固醇，花生四烯酸和二十二碳五烯酸的摄入仅与前组的hie-sho得分呈负相关。仅在前组中观察到总库珀曼指数与hie-sho得分呈正相关。这些结果表明，绝经后妇女的孕酮水平与感冒有关。绝经前妇女的脂肪摄入，血浆甘油三酸酯和更年期症状可能与感冒有关。仅在后组中血浆孕酮与hie-sho得分呈正相关。仅在前组中血浆甘油三酸酯与hie-sho得分呈正相关。胆固醇，花生四烯酸和二十二碳五烯酸的摄入仅与前组的hie-sho得分呈负相关。仅在前组中观察到总库珀曼指数与hie-sho得分呈正相关。这些结果表明，绝经后妇女的孕酮水平与感冒有关。绝经前妇女的脂肪摄入，血浆甘油三酸酯和更年期症状可能与感冒有关。仅前组中二十二碳五烯酸与hie-sho得分呈负相关。仅在前组中观察到总库珀曼指数与hie-sho得分呈正相关。这些结果表明，绝经后妇女的孕酮水平与感冒有关。绝经前妇女的脂肪摄入，血浆甘油三酸酯和更年期症状可能与感冒有关。仅前组中二十二碳五烯酸与hie-sho得分呈负相关。仅在前组中观察到总库珀曼指数与hie-sho得分呈正相关。这些结果表明，绝经后妇女的孕酮水平与感冒有关。绝经前妇女的脂肪摄入，血浆甘油三酸酯和更年期症状可能与感冒有关。
