目的观察玛咖及复方玛咖对更年期综合征患者相关症状、疲劳状态、抑郁和焦虑水平、激素水平及抗氧化指标的影响。方法采用随机对照双盲实验,2016年2-4月解放军总医院门诊招募更年期综合征女性受试者80例,随机分为复方玛咖组(40例)、玛咖组(40例),分别口服复方玛咖(6片/d)、玛咖(7片/d),干预3个月后,比较两组之间及同组干预前后更年期自我综合评定结果、疲劳评定结果、PHQ-9抑郁症及GAD-7焦虑症评分、血清雌激素水平及抗氧化指标。结果共73例受试者完成研究(复方玛咖组37例,玛咖组36例),失访率8.75%。与干预前比较,两组均能够提高记忆力、改善失眠、减轻泌尿系统症状及降低血清丙二醛水平(P均<0.05);干预后组间比较,复方玛咖组较玛咖组在提高记忆力、改善失眠方面的效果更为明显(P均<0.05)。结论口服玛咖及复方玛咖能够提高更年期女性记忆力,改善失眠,减轻泌尿系统症状,增强机体抗氧化能力。复方玛咖在提高记忆力方面的作用更加明显。

Eighty subjects with menopausal syndrome were recruited and randomly assigned into compound Maca group （compound Maca, 6 tablets/day, n=40） and Maca group （Maca, 7 tablets/day, n=40）. The intervention lasted for 3 months, and then the changes of Kupperman score, FS-14 score, PHQ-9 score and GAD-7 score, serum estrogen level and antioxidant index between two groups and self-contrast were compared.
