Purpose : This investigation was to understand the distribution of risk factors that cause cardiovascular disease due to deficiency of estrogen after postmenopausal. In addition, it was carried out to improve the perceptibility of cardiovascular disease.
method This investigation was carried out between September and December, 2002 to 140 women aged from 50 to 65 who visited the medical centre. The data used were body mass index for weight/height, low density lipoprotein, fasting blood sugar, obesity blood pressure, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein, and triglyceride. The result is as following.
results : The ones who had risk factors of cardiovascular disease showed 42.9% of body mass index over 25, 75% with 140mmHg of systolic blood pressure, 15% with 90mmHg of diastolic blood pressure and 17.1 % with 110mg/dl over of fasting blood sugar. 2.1 % had LDUHDL ratio over 4 and 47.9% of TC/HDL ratio over 3.8.
Concusion : According to the result, medical teams should provide accurate information to women after postmenopausal about the lipoprotein changes through formulae of LDUHDL, TC/HDL, body mass index, and the risk level of them as well as glucose tolerence.
