Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of mortality worldwide. In women, its incidence increases at the sixth decade of life, coinciding with postmenopause. Whether this effect is due to menopause-related hormonal changes is not known.
To evaluate the differences in cardiovascular risk in pre- and postmenopausal women by means of the Globorisk risk scale, the triglyceride/high-density lipoproteins cholesterol (Tg/HDL-C) ratio and metabolic syndrome (MS) criteria.
Cross-sectional study that included 408 women from 40 to 60 years of age; anthropometric measurements and biochemical determinations were performed. The participants were classified as premenopausal and postmenopausal. Cardiovascular risk was assessed using the MS criteria, the Globorisk risk calculator and the Tg/HDL-C ratio.
Postmenopausal women showed a significant increase in waist circumference, total cholesterol and triglycerides in comparison with premenopausal women. Significant associations were found between hormonal state and Globorisk measured cardiovascular risk (OR = 2.50; 95 % CI = 1.67-3.74) and the Tg/HDL-C ratio (OR = 1.66; 95 % CI = 1.09-2.52).
Cardiovascular risk factors have a higher prevalence in postmenopause. The Globorisk scale and Tg/HDL-C ratio identify cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women.
心血管疾病是全球主要的死亡原因。在女性中,其发病率在生命的第六个十年增加,与绝经后期相吻合。这种影响是否归因于绝经相关的激素变化尚不清楚。
通过全球风险量表、甘油三酯/高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(Tg/HDL-C)比值和代谢综合征(MS)标准,评估绝经前和绝经后女性心血管风险的差异。
横断面研究纳入了408名40至60岁的女性;进行了人体测量和生化测定。参与者被分为绝经前和绝经后。使用MS标准、全球风险计算器和Tg/HDL-C比值评估心血管风险。
与绝经前女性相比,绝经后女性的腰围、总胆固醇和甘油三酯显著增加。在激素状态与全球风险量表测量的心血管风险(OR = 2.50;95% CI = 1.67 - 3.74)和Tg/HDL-C比值(OR = 1.66;95% CI = 1.09 - 2.52)之间发现了显著关联。
心血管危险因素在绝经后期的患病率更高。全球风险量表和Tg/HDL-C比值可识别绝经后女性的心血管风险。
