Abstract

Menopause is a term used to describe the permanent cessation of the primary functions of the human ovaries the ripening and release of ova and the release of hormones that cause both the creation of the uterine lining.[1] Menopause typically (but not always) occurs in women in midlife, during their late 40s or early 50s and signals the end of the fertile phase of women’s life. The term post menopause is applied to women who have not experienced a menstrual bleed for a minimum of 12 months, assuming that they do still have a uterus, and are not pregnant or lactating.[2] This stage of life becomes very stressful. Stress influence health and disease and is the main reason for early ageing. Now a day’s stress has become an integral part of day to day life style. Keeping the importance of post menopause present study was aimed toassess Association of Physical Activity with stress of 200 Post Menopausal Women aged 40-70 years living in Indore district. Result of the study reveals that Probability value of Chi square was 9.43 at 2 df which is a highly significant (P < 0.009, two tailed). As none of the Post menopausal women found heavy worker. Hence, highly significant association was found between physical activity and stress of Post menopausal women. Also, association of Lipid profile with stress in post menopausal women clearly reflects that the probability value of Chi-Square is 13.79 at 4 degrees of freedom which is highly significant (p<0.008, two-tailed). Therefore the obtained result concludes that there is a significant association between Lipid profile and stress in studied subjects.
