Some of the factors that may influence the hormones of reporduction during the climaterium have been evaluated in recent publications. No research has been done in our country on this topic and that's why this study eas desingned aimed at knowing the relation existing between the postmenopausal hormonal levels sample of 134 postmenopausal women from an urban health area was taken and divided according to their participation in such a circle (67 in each group). the following hormones were detemined by radioimmunoassay: FSH, LH, porlactin, testosterone, estradiol, androstenedione and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17 OH-P). prolactin was higher in those women who do not take part in the activities of the grandparents' circle; whereas testosterone and 17 OH-P were lower compared with the group participating in the activities. No difference was found in the rest of the hormones. According to these results the activities carried out by these women at the grandparents' circle influence the levels of some of the reproduction hormones, which may have favorable effects for health, on reducciong stress, and particularly on osteoporosis that appears during this period of life.
