ABSTRACT
Background:
The serum lipid profile in premenopausal and perimenopausal/postmenopausal women gets deranged not only due to hormonal changes in different patterns of menstrual cycle but also due to body mass index (BMI) and dietary influence.Objective:
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of BMI and dietary influence in serum lipid profile in among groups of premenopausal and perimenopausal/postmenopausal women. Materials andMethods:
A hospital-based study was carried out on total (n = 161) healthy women in different phases of menstrual cycle.Results:
Dietary factor has not any influence on the lipid profile in these women and BMI has got an effect to a lesser extent on lipid profile in postmenopausal group.Conclusions:
Dietary habits and BMI status do not influence the serum lipid levels as most of the women belonged to low socioeconomic status, subsiding on fiber-rich diet and being more physically active.
