[ relationship between some risk factors of cardiovascular diseases in reproductive age women with duration of oral contraceptive pills use]

ABSTRACT

Many of women use oral contraceptive pills [OCP] to prevent pregnancy. So, this study was conducted to evaluate the OCP duration consumption on some risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Women were selected among 4689 of Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study [TLGS] participants whose data were complete. The questionnaires of TLGS were used for data gathering. Comparison of four groups, including non users and users with different duration of consumption, even with adjustment for confounding factors showed no statistical significant difference. It seems duration of consumption of current OCPs is not contributor for cardiovascular diseases
