Abstracto
Age of menarche, fertility, number of labours, body weight, physical and mental activity, and incidence of stress in everyday life were evaluated in 72 women with uterine myomas, aged 34-54 years. The control group consisted of 45 healthy women at similar age. It was demonstrated that overweight (p < 0.05, p < 0.001 in most groups studied) in combination with low physical activity and higher mental (stress producing) was a risk factor in the aetiology and pathogenesis of this disease. Fertility and number of labours as well as the age of menarche were unchanged (p > 0.05).
