“…Cross-sectional population-based studies showed prevalence similar to that found in our study-56.9% (among women over 45 years) in the semi-arid region of Bahia [25] and 59.9% (in women over 60 years) in Novo Hamburgo, state of Rio Grande do Sul [26]. However, Figueiredo Neto [8], investigating women in climacteric period in a gynecology clinic in Maranhão, found lower prevalence, of 34.7% [8]. This study, like ours, was performed in public health service, with the average age of women of 49.7 years, slightly lower than ours.…”

“…In another study, the prevalence of MetS was 29.8% and an increase in prevalence as the age increases was noticed [7]. In a study by Figueiredo Neto [8], women between 40 and 45 years had a prevalence of MetS of 14.1%, while for women between 56 and 64 years the prevalence was 66.7%. In this study, the increase in the prevalence of MetS in post-menopausal women was caused mainly by the increase of age.…”

Background: This study aims to understand the relationship between menopausal status and the presence of Metabolic Syndrome in women from 40 to 65 years, as well as to describe the distribution of each component of Metabolic Syndrome according to sample characteristics. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 551 women treated at a clinic in southern Brazil. MetS and its components were defined according to NCEP-ATP III and menopausal status as pre, peri, and post-menopause. Prevalences of menopausal status and of MetS and its components were calculated. Estimates of prevalence ratios crude and adjusted with confidence intervals of 95% were calculated by Poisson Regression with robust variance. Demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and reproductive characteristics were considered as potential confounding factors in multivariable models based on a conceptual framework of MetS determination. Results: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in the sample was 56.1% (CI 95% : 51.9 to 60.2), being more common among older women (56 to 65 years), with low education, menarche <11 years old, with three or more pregnancies and in the post-menopausal period. In multivariate analysis, there was an increase of prevalence ratios when comparing perimenopause and post-menopause with pre-menopause; however, the confidence intervals include the unit. Regarding the analysis of isolated components in the sample, the most prevalent altered components were: hypertension (84.8%; CI 95% : 81.7 to 87.8), waist circumference (66.4%; CI 95% : 62.5 to 70.4) and HDL cholesterol (51.7%; CI 95% : 47.5 to 55.9). There was a linear increase on mean blood glucose through menopausal status. Conclusions: Our study indicates variation on the distribution of MetS and each component according to menopausal status and other women characteristics. Future studies on MetS should also have foresight to use this type of approach to improve understanding and targeting of actions and programs focusing on women in this period of life.

Introduction: The changes caused by menopause and the duration of this period in women's lives are of great scientific relevance, and achieving a better understanding of diseases such as diabetes prevalent in the climacteric and the risk factors associated with metabolic and cardiovascular diseases is essential. Objective:To determine the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in climacteric women, correlating socioeconomic and demographic variables.Method: This is a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, performed in 14 Family Health Units (USF) in the urban area of the municipality of Cajazeiras/Paraíba, Brazil, with 396 women. Data were collected in interviews using a structured questionnaire, and the variables were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results:There was prevalence of DM in 11.6% (n = 396) of the climacteric women, who had DM as a single disease or associated with other diseases. Regarding the sociodemographic profiles and lifestyles of the diabetic women, it became evident that the 46 participants were on average 52.1 years old; had 5.2 years of formal education and per capita income of 0.7 minimum wage; 43.5% were in paid employment; 65.2% had a fixed partner; 23.9% reported being smokers; 15.2% reported use of alcohol; 73.9% said they were sedentary and 76.1% were overweight/obese.

Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is on the rise due to the epidemic increase of obesity. It increases the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and type II diabetes mellitus. Aims To study the prevalence of MetS and its components in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Design Cross-sectional comparative study. Results The prevalence of MetS in postmenopausal women was 48.6 %, nearly 1.7 times the prevalence in premenopausal women (27.4 %). Except for central obesity and low HDL cholesterol, the frequency of hyperglycemia, high blood pressure, and hypertriglyceridemia were significantly higher in postmenopausal than in premenopausal women. All the five factors of NCEP ATP III criteria were present in 5 % of postmenopausal women in contrast to 0.4 % in premenopausal women. Conclusion Prevention is better than cure. Material and Method
