Abstract

Association between menopause and dyslipidemia has been documented by several studies. Several studies have shown that serum LDL & VLDL cholesterol levels, triglycerides are significantly higher and HDL cholesterol levels are lower in postmenopausal women when compared to age matched premenopausal women. So there is an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) to women after menopause. The present study was carried out among 200 subjects, who were divided into two groups, 100 premenopausal and 100 postmenopausal groups. The study was done by obtaining serum sample from study group and controls, from randomly selected postmenopausal and premenopausal women of similar height and weight of general population of city. Significantly increased proportion of total cholesterol >200 mg/dl in postmenopausal women compared to premenopausal women. Postmenopausal women have significantly increased triglycerides level >150 mg/dl compared to premenopausal
women.
