Abstract:
Background: Post-menopausal women without diabetes, diabetic
women have a much-increased chance of developing lipid problems, particularly
atherogenic dyslipidaemia. The study aims to compare the lipid profiles of
postmenopausal women with and without diabetes.
Methods: This study is a comparative case-control study conducted over 6
months, from November 2025 to April 2026. The study takes into account 76
post-menopausal non-diabetic women (control group) and 76 post-menopausal
diabetic women (study group) who visited Era Hospital in Lucknow. In all
groups, a lipid profile was done.
Results: Serum levels of TCHO, TGs, VLDL-C, LDL-C, and HDL-C (p = 0.012,
0.000, 0.001, 0.055 and 0.464, respectively). HDL-C decreased statistically
significantly.
Conclusions: According to the study, postmenopausal
women with diabetes had a significant frequency of lipid problems. These
results emphasise the necessity of routine lipid monitoring in postmenopausal
women with diabetes.
