Abstract: Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its components among pre-and postmenopausal women, as well as the association between menopausal status and MS. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted at a reference cardiology outpatient clinic in a city located in Northwestern Paraná State, Brazil. A total of 958 medical records of symptomatic climacteric women evaluated between 2010 and 2014 were analyzed. The study consisted of two grou… Show more

“…It seems that MetS is more prevalent among postmenopausal women than among premenopausal women. Oestrogens are the key roles in maintaining homoeostasis in healthy premenopausal women . When oestrogen levels decrease and circulating androgen levels increase with menopause resulting in weight gain, fat redistribution and dyslipidemia, all these major hallmarks of MetS associated with increased risk of NAFLD or cardiovascular disease appear.…”

“…Oestrogens are the key roles in maintaining homoeostasis in healthy premenopausal women. 21,22 When oestrogen levels decrease and circulating androgen levels increase with menopause resulting in weight gain, fat redistribution and dyslipidemia, all these major hallmarks of MetS associated with increased risk of NAFLD or cardiovascular disease appear. 23 The current study indicated that the combined prevalence of MetS and HBV was estimated as 2.6%, which is higher than the prevalence reported in western countries.…”

“…Полученные данные могут быть объяснены тем, что в ýтом возрасте у женщин наступает менопауза. По литературным данным, женщины в менопаузе демонстрируют большую частоту МС и увеличение распространенности компонентов МС: АД, АО, гиперХС-ЛПНП, гипоХС-ЛПВП, гиперТГ, высокий уровень глюкозы [18].…”

“…According to some prospective studies, HDL cholesterol levels tend to fall with age in both men and women. [17,18] The most striking decreases, likely attributable to hormonal fluctuations, takes place in postmenopausal women [19]. Since the inverse correlation between HDL-Ch levels and coronary heart disease in the 1950s, the life cycle of HDLCh, its role in atherosclerosis and the therapeutic modification of HDL-Ch levels have been considered major research topics.…”
