Importance Menopause is an integral part of women's health, and studies in high-income countries have shown an increase in cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk factors in postmenopausal compared with premenopausal women. However, to date, no study has combined and assessed such studies across low- and middle-income countries. This would better inform early monitoring and intervention strategies for reducing CMD risk factor levels in midlife women in these regions. Objective This study aimed to evaluate evidence from the literature on differences in CMD risk factors between premenopausal and postmenopausal midlife women living in low- and middle-income countries. Evidence Review A systematic review with meta-analysis of original articles of all study designs from the databases PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science was conducted from conception until April 24, 2023. Studies that met the inclusion criteria were included in the analysis. Quality assessment of the articles was done using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, adapted for each study design. The study protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews and adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis. For the meta-analysis, fixed-effects models were used to pool the odds ratios (OR), as measures of association. Findings Our search identified 4,849 relevant articles: 44 for the systematic review and 16 for the meta-analysis, in accordance with our inclusion criteria. Compared with premenopausal women, the postmenopausal stage was associated with metabolic syndrome (OR, 1.18 [95% CI, 1.11-1.27]), high waist-to-hip ratio (OR, 1.22 [95% CI, 1.12-1.32]), hypertension (OR, 1.10 [95% CI, 1.04-1.16]), elevated triglycerides (OR, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.11-1.21]), and elevated plasma glucose (OR, 1.21 [95% CI, 1.15-1.28]). Conclusions and Relevance This study confirmed that CMD risk factors are present at higher levels in postmenopausal than premenopausal women. This demonstrates an urgent need for public health policies that focus on early monitoring and interventions targeted at reducing CMD risk and related adverse outcomes in midlife women in these nations.

“…In addition, a large cross-sectional study in rural China reported associations between postmenopausal stage and elevated glucose, blood pressure, triglycerides, and abdominal obesity amongst women with mean BMI 24.9–25.2 kg/m 2 [ 28 ]. Furthermore, cross-sectional studies from Indian populations with mean BMI ≤25 kg/m 2 demonstrated that postmenopausal stage was positively associated with waist circumference [ 29 ] and mean arterial pressure [ 30 ]. The data from these studies therefore suggest that differences in CMD risk factors between pre- and postmenopausal women may be greater in lean than obese women.…”

“…This may explain the lower prevalence of obesity in the West African sites, but it is also possible that rural residence could influence the relationship between menopausal stage and CMD risk factors independent of its association with lower BMI. Thus, the studies described above that showed an increase in CMD risk factors in post- compared to premenopausal women in populations with low BMI were all conducted at rural sites [ 28 – 30 ]. However, a study conducted in a large rural population (N = 4743) in China demonstrated a higher prevalence of CMD risk factors in post- than premenopausal women, but with a prevalence of obesity at close to 22 %, which is far higher than that observed in the West African populations [ 32 ].…”
