Abstract

Background: With increase in postmenopausal population, screening for MetS and its relationship with menopausal symptoms needs evaluation.

Objective: To identify the frequency of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and assess its relationship with menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women.

Methods: This was a cross sectional study performed at a tertiary care centre in Uttarakhand India over a period of 18 months. All postmenopausal women >40 years with natural menopause included in the study sample. We used the Consensus Definition IDF and AHA/NHLBI (2009) criteria to classify subjects as having metabolic syndrome. Menopausal symptoms were assessed using Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) questionnaire.

Results: The frequency of metabolic syndrome in our study was 34.38% (55 out of 160 patients). We observed sleeping problems (36.88%) followed by physical & mental exhaustion (33.75%) and hot flushes (33.13%) to be the commonest menopausal symptoms. Significant association was seen for MRS along with its subscales in women with metabolic syndrome (P value <.05). Significant positive correlation was observed between total Menopause rating scale scores as well as all three subscales for triglycerides in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Conclusion: Hyper triglyceridemia was associated with severe menopausal symptoms among postmenopausal women with MetS in our study.

代谢综合征及其与绝经后妇女更年期症状的关系：一项横断面研究

背景：随着绝经后人群的增加，需要对代谢综合征的筛查及其与绝经症状的关系进行评估：目的：确定绝经后妇女代谢综合征（MetS）的频率，并评估其与绝经症状的关系：这是一项横断面研究，在印度北阿坎德邦的一家三级医疗中心进行，为期 18 个月。研究样本包括所有年龄大于 40 岁、自然绝经的绝经后妇女。我们采用 IDF 共识定义和 AHA/NHLBI（2009 年）标准对受试者进行代谢综合征分类。更年期症状采用更年期评定量表（MRS）问卷进行评估：在我们的研究中，代谢综合征的发病率为 34.38%（160 名患者中有 55 人）。我们观察到睡眠问题（36.88%）是最常见的更年期症状，其次是身心疲惫（33.75%）和潮热（33.13%）。在患有代谢综合征的妇女中，MRS 及其分量表之间存在显著关联（P 值，结论）：在我们的研究中，高甘油三酯血症与患有代谢综合征的绝经后妇女的严重更年期症状有关。
