Abstract：Objective To explore the related factors of quality of life among menopausal women, and to examine the interaction effect of stressful life events and social support on quality of life. Methods Totally 413 menopausal women were selected using convenient sampling method. Menopause-specific quality of life questionnaire, social support rating scale, and life event scale were used for evaluation. Results The total score of quality of life was 63.91±29.57, and physical symptoms was the most important health problem of menopausal women. The total score of social support was 42.72±6.95, and that of life event was 34.6±8.72. Life events and social support had direct effect on life quality of menopausal women and life events had indirect effect on life quality of menopausal women through social support. Conclusion The results suggest improvement of social support, particularly among those who have recently experienced significant life events, may be important to improve the quality of life in menopausal women.
