“…Specially, this group of population lacks physical activities due to their retired life; in addition, consumption of unhealthy food makes them more prone to suffer from atherogenic effects. This is the mean age for menopause suggesting that more of the Nepalese women are probably at risk of developing complications associated with cardiovascular disease which is the matter of concern [ 11 ].…”

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide which is more prevalent in women after menopause. Hormonal changes associated with menopause are accountable for dyslipidemic pattern that causes CVD and associated complications. Therefore, the present study was commenced to compare the lipid profile in pre- and postmenopausal women. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at Manmohan Memorial Institute of Health Sciences (MMIHS) from February 2016 to July 2016. A total of 260 fasting samples were collected from healthy women, 130 from premenopausal and 130 from postmenopausal women, and analyzed for Total Cholesterol (TC), Triacylglycerol (TAG), High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C), and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) as per the guideline provided by the reagent manufacturer (Human, Germany). All the parameters were analyzed by Stat Fax 3300 semi auto analyzer. TC, TAG, HDL-C, and LDL-C were highly significantly increased in postmenopausal women when compared to premenopausal women. LDL/HDL ratio was significantly elevated in postmenopausal women than in premenopausal women. BMI was significantly positively correlated with TC and TAG in both pre- and postmenopausal population and it was positively correlated with HDL-C in premenopausal population while negatively correlated in postmenopausal population. Since more of the atherogenic lipid parameters are increased in postmenopausal women, they appear to be more prone to have CVD and associated complications in near future. Hence, it is mandatory to monitor and manage dyslipidemic pattern in every woman experiencing menopause.

“…[ 3 ] A better understanding of the factors that contribute to chronic diseases including diabetes is vital. [ 4 5 6 7 ] There is a need to focus on the effects of optimal nutrition on the health and wellbeing of women during menopause. It is evident that good nutrition and optimizing the intake of specific nutrients, together with lifestyle changes can improve maintaining a healthy menopause.…”

Context:Nutrition plays a vital role in the quality of life in postmenopausal women.Aim:The aim is to determine the dietary intake, physical activity, and assess the body mass index (BMI) among postmenopausal women.Settings and Design:A community-based sample survey.Materials and Methods:The present study included 140 postmenopausal women (40–70 years) from Udupi, Manipal areas of Karnataka. The study was carried out between July and December 2013. Sociodemographic data were collected using a questionnaire. Anthropometric data included height, weight, waist, and hip circumference. Dietary intake was determined using 24 h dietary recall. Physical activity information was collected.Statistical Analysis Used:Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16 software. Paired t-test was performed to determine the dietary adequacy.Results:Obesity was 42.1% among the study participants. Increased WHR and waist circumference were 82.1% and 77.1%. Mean daily intake of calcium and saturated fatty acids were significantly higher than recommended dietary allowance (RDA) (P < 0.001). Mean intake of energy, protein, carbohydrate, mono and poly unsaturated fatty acid, fiber and sodium were significantly lower than RDA (P < 0.001). Average daily intake of cereals, pulses, roots and tubers, meat and products, fats and oils, green leafy, and other vegetables were significantly (P < 0.001) lower than RDA. Intake of fruits, milk and milk products, and sugar was significantly higher (P < 0.001) than RDA. Only 37.1% of women performed moderate or active exercises regularly.Conclusions:Even though, nutrient and food group deficiencies were observed among postmenopausal women physical inactivity and effects of menopausal transition instigate increased BMI imposing a need to educate on nutrition and physical activity.

“…Metabolic Syndrome was highly prevalent in postmenopausal women than in premenopausal women. [20] Eshtiaghi et al 2010, showed a prevalence of 53.5% Metabolic Syndrome in postmenopausal Iranian women, on the other hand it was only 18% in pre-menopausal women. [21] The overall prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in a study by Samir Ben Ali et al 2014 was 35.9%.…”
