The number of the climacteric women who are engaged in the work of Visual Display Terminals (VDT hereafter) is supposed to increase more in the future. Therefore, the literature review was carried out for the purpose of clarifying the somatic effect which VDT work gives to climacteric women and the following result were obtained. Incidentally, the number of the examined literature is 32 on climacteric syndrome (seven original papers and 25 pieces of explanation) and 15 on VDT syndrome (four original papers, 9 pieces of explanation and two general remarks). 1. There are four physical symptoms which can be liable to come to menopause women who are engaged in the VDT work; they are "muscle and bone symptom", "psychoneurosis symptom", "automatic neuropathy symptom" and "symptom of the eye". The first two of them are the symptoms which overlap in both the climacteric disorder and the VDT syndrome. 2. The factors of the physical load given to climacteric women who are engaged in VDT work are "physiological characteristic", "environmental factor", "work control" and "adaptable situation of the VDT". 3. Each symptom of the climacteric disorder and the VDT syndrome interact with each other,and as a result they would make the symptom more complicated and deteriorated.
