ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of pre- and post-menopausal periods and menopausal-age limit on lipid metabolism in hypertensive women. Methods One hundred thirty-one hypertensive women in pre- or post-menopausal periods were collected for the determination of blood triglycerides(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and low density lipoprotein(LDL-C). The blood lipid levels were compared between hypertensive and control groups,as well as between pre- and post-menopausal subgroups,and the relationship between menopausal-age limit and blood levels lipid was analyzed. Results Hypertensive group in pre-menopausal period had significantly higher TC and LDL-C than did the control group〔TC,(5.27?0.47)vs(4.33?0.70)mmol/L;LDL-C,(3.50?0.45)vs(2.67?0.50)mmol/L respectively, all P
