Menopausal Symptoms (GCS)
The Green Climacteric Scale is a 21-item validated instrument to measure menopausal symptoms1). The scale is also validated in the Dutch population 2).
In Lifelines, the scale was used in an additional assessment on Menopause & Work (MAWQ).
Scoring
The GCS generates a total score and 4 domain scores (psychological, somatic, vasomotor and sexual functioning). The GCS total score is the sum of the scores obtained for each domain and ranges from 0 to 63 points; higher scores on all scales indicate more bothersome symptoms.
