| Abstract: | 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. |
