Menopause is a normal ageing phenomenon in women. The risk of
cardiovascular diseases gradually increases in postmenopausal women, which may be due to lower
level of estrogen. Changes in lipoproteins have been associated with a 30% decline in atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. This study was designed to compare lipid profile between
postmenopausal women and premenopausal women.
