Menopause hormone therapy(MHT) is the most effective method to alleviate the symptoms associated with ovarian dysfunction, and it can also prevent the occurrence of age-related chronic diseases in the early menopause stage. Some clinical studies showed that MHT increased the risks of gynecological related tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which limited the clinical application of MHT and prevented some patients who need MHT from getting timely treatment.

All patients received quantitative computed tomography to measure the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), and were divided into three groups depending on the tertile of VAT value: T1 group (VAT<162.0 cm2), T2 group (162.0≤VAT<221.1 cm2), T3 group (VAT≥221.1 cm2). The incidences of diabetic kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, peripheral atherosclerosis, and cardia-cerebrovascular disease were examined in all patients. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000HbA1C level in T1 group was higher than that in T3 group(P<0.05). High density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in T1 group were higher compared with those in T2 and T3 groups (P<0.05). Male proportion, age, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglyceride (TG), 24h urinary albumin, diabetic kidney disease and peripheral atherosclerosis in T2 and T3 groups were higher than those in T1 group (P<0.05). Fasting C- peptide (FCP) and modified homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in T3 group were higher than those in T1 and T2 group (P<0.01). VAT and SAT were positively correlated with BMI, FCP, and HOMA-IR (p<0.01). VAT was positively correlated with age, SBP, DBP, TG, 24h urinary albumin, diabetic kidney disease, peripheral atherosclerosis, and cardia-cerebrovascular disease (P<0.05), while inversely correlated with HbA1C, HDL-C, and eGFR (P<0.05). SAT was positively correlated with total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P<0.01), while negatively correlated with peripheral atherosclerosis (P<0.01).
