Descriptive analysis, t-test,one-way ANOVA, chi-square test and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis areused in the analysis.Results:1. Ages at menarche and menopauseThe average age at menarche of the perimenopausal women was15.79±1.58years old, and the average age at natural menopause was49.69±3.17years old. Theage at menopause was not correlated with the age at menarche （R=0.151，P=0.176；R=0.176，P=0.094）. Mongolian women’s age at menarche was15.90±1.56years old,and the age at menopause was49.67±3.49years old. There are no significant differencesbetween the two ethnic groups（P>0.05）. There are significant differences in other areasand nationalities of the menarche age and menopause age between Han and Mongolianperimenopausal women,the same people in different areas also have differences.2. The perimenopausal knowledge rate and the usage rate of HRT The overall perimenopausal knowledge rate was67.7%; the awareness rate ofHRT was20.7%and the usage of HRT was2.0%. Two nations’ perimenopausal nousand knowledge awareness rate are significantly differences (P<0.01, P<0.05), theMongolia group of perimenopausal women in perimenopausal women with lower than that ofthe Han nationality.HRT awareness and use of no difference between the two ethnic groups (P>0.05).3. The health status in perimenopause of the Han and Mongolian womenThe score of KI scale for an average of13.613±9.05, at a low level.The.Theincidence rate of climacteric syndrome was77.3%,the top five perimenopausalsymptoms in incidence were: irritability, fatigue, insomnia, paresthesia andarthrodynia accompanied by muscle-pains. Mongolian women’s incidence rate was75.3%; the Han women’s incidence rate was79.4%. Two national KI Scale total scoreand menopausal syndrome rate had no difference (P>0.05).The symptoms offormication score and there were significant difference (P<0.01).The score of KI scaleand production times, culture level is negatively correlated.City of perimenopausalwomen KI Scale total score was significantly lower than the countrysideperi-menopausal period women (P<0.01).Different age groups of perimenopausalwomen KI Scale total score have significant difference (P<0.01).4.
