dc.description.abstractObjective: To determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among pre- and post-menopausal women attending a tertiary clinic in Turkey. Study design: This is a cross-sectional study consisting of one hundred and eighty healthy postmenopausal women and fifty-three healthy premenopausal women evaluated for presence or absence of metabolic syndrome. The t test and Fischer exact test were used for continuous variables and chi-square test was used for categorical variables. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among pre-menopausal women was 15.09% according to NCEP criteria. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among postmenopausal women was 19.44% according to NCEP criteria. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome between premenopausal and postmenopausal women in our study population. Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome between premenopausal and postmenopausal women attending a tertiary clinic in Turkey.
