dc.description.abstractObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity and cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women. Methods: The study included 43 postmenopausal women who were admitted to Dicle University Medical School Family Medicine Outpatient Clinic. Body mass index (BMI), waist and hip circumferences, body fat mass and percentage, 24-hour arterial tension measurements, homocysteine (Hcy), lipid and vitamin B12 levels, and Framingham risk score (FRS) were compared between obese (BMI >= 30 kg/m(2)) and non-obese (BMI<30 kg/m(2)) patients. Results: The patients included 25 (58.1%) obese and 18 (41.9%) non-obese patients. Abdominal obesity was seen in 29 (67.4%) and truncal obesity in 18 (41.9%) participants. Family history of cardiac disease was seen in 25 (58.1%) women, most of whom were obese. Based on FRS, moderate cardiovascular risk was assessed in 21.6%, but none of the participants were at high risk. FRS was positively correlated with Hcy and waist/hip ratio. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that age- and gender-dependent differences must be taken into consideration for cardiovascular risk assessments and postmenopausal women should be informed about obesity and hypertension in order to improve their quality of life.en_US
