Abstract

Introduction. Nowadays, the number of menopausal women in the world population has strong tendency to increase. According to statistics the majority have a moderate and severe course of it. This is the reason preventive gerontology develops today, especially climatology. That is why using new machine learning technologies is relevant today. Such method as gradient boosting helped us to identify the characteristic features and factors that cause the pathological course of menopause in women which made it possible to draw up a medical «portrait» of such patients. Using the knowledge of these factors influence it is easily to recognize women needs to be observed even before the manifestations of menopause. Aim. The aim of the study is to conduct a socio-somatic «portrait» of a modern patient with a pathological menopause. Material and methods. A detailed survey of 1275 women aged 45–60 years was carried out with an assessment of the socio-cultural status, general somatic and gynecological health. The received data were sorted and categorized using modern statistical processing methods and machine learning method - gradient boosting. Results and discussion. Firstly, there are factors with high influence on menopausal syndrome developing: level of education, oncological anamnesis, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, vegetative and insomnia disorders, the use of intrauterine contraceptives, the number of children 2 or more, the presence of abortions in anamnesis. The rest of the questionnaires were characterized as having only a small impact. This is a pathology of the thyroid gland, the cardiovascular system; hyperplastic processes in history; occupation, namely social and medical workers, as well as a negative attitude towards menopause. The greater number of these features one woman has, the higher the likelihood of developing a pathological menopause she gets. Conclusion. The collective image we have received of a modern patient with pathological menopausal syndrome is based on aspects of the life and health of women which it is worth paying attention on. This can serve as a kind of guideline for clinicians in order to achieve correction of hypoestrogenism with the development of a pathological menopause.
