          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: Avaliar o hábito alimentar e nutricional de mulheres na pós-menopausa e compará-los com o perfil antropométrico, faixa etária e tempo de menopausa. MÉTODOS: No período de junho a agosto de 2011, 148 mulheres na pós-menopausa residentes no Estado de São Paulo (região Sudeste do Brasil) foram avaliadas com um questionário estruturado contendo dados socioeconômicos, clínicos, antropométricos e alimentares. Avaliou-se nível de atividade física, variáveis bioquímicas, Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), circunferência abdominal (CA) e consumo alimentar (energia, proteínas, carboidratos e gorduras, fibra, colesterol, vitaminas A e C, minerais, cálcio e ferro) de acordo com a faixa etária e o tempo de pós-menopausa (TPM). RESULTADOS: A média de IMC foi 29,0±5,6 kg/m2 e da CA, 95,7±12,9 cm. O consumo médio calórico diário atingiu 1.406,3±476,5 kcal. A ingestão e a adequação calórica foram significantemente mais apropriadas entre as mulheres eutróficas e com CA<88 cm. O mesmo ocorreu quanto ao consumo de proteínas (p<0,001 e p=0,006, respectivamente). Na análise por faixa etária ou TPM não houve diferenças significantes, exceto a média do consumo proteico, maior no grupo com 5 anos ou menos de menopausa (p=0,048). CONCLUSÃO: O perfil antropométrico de mulheres na pós-menopausa mostrou predominância de sobrepeso ou obesidade. O consumo alimentar apresentou-se adequado quanto às calorias e percentuais de macronutrientes, entre as eutróficas e com CA<88 cm.

          PURPOSE: To evaluate eating in postmenopausal women and its relation to anthropometry, age and time since menopause in São Bernardo do Campo residents. METHODS: During the period from June to August of 2011, 148 postmenopausal women residents in state of São Paulo (Southeast region of Brazil) were evaluated using a structured questionnaire containing socioeconomic, clinical, anthropometric and food data. The level of physical activity, biochemical variables, Body Mass Index (BMI), abdominal circumference (AC) and dietary intake (energy, protein, carbohydrates and fats, fiber, cholesterol, vitamins A and C, minerals, calcium and iron) were analyzed according to age and time after menopause. RESULTS: Mean BMI was 29.0≤5.6 kg/m2 and abdominal circumference was 95.7±12.9 cm. The average daily caloric consumption was 1,406.3±476.5 kcal. The calorie intake was significantly more appropriate in normal-weight women and women with AC<88 cm. The same was observed for protein intake (p<0.001 and p=0.006, respectively). No association was observed with age or duration of the postmenopausal period, except for average protein consumption that was higher in the group with five years or less of menopause (p=0.048). CONCLUSION: The anthropometry of postmenopausal women showed a predominance of overweight and obesity. Dietary intake was adequate in relation to the percentage of calories and macronutrients and calories among most normal-weight women and women with AC<88 cm.

          Early menopause predicts future coronary heart disease and stroke: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.

          Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of women. Identifying women at risk of cardiovascular disease has tremendous public health importance. Early menopause is associated with increased cardiovascular disease events in some predominantly white populations, but not consistently. Our objective was to determine if self-reported early menopause (menopause at an age <46 y) identifies women as at risk for future coronary heart disease or stroke. The study population came from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis, a longitudinal, ethnically diverse cohort study of US men and women aged 45 to 84 years enrolled in 2000-2002 and followed up until 2008. The association between a personal history of early menopause (either natural menopause or surgical removal of ovaries at an age <46 y) and future coronary heart disease and stroke was assessed in 2,509 women (ages 45-84 y; 987 white, 331 Chinese, 641 black, and 550 Hispanic) from the Multi-ethnic Study Atherosclerosis who were free of cardiovascular disease at baseline. Of 2,509 women, 693 (28%) reported either surgical or natural early menopause. In survival curves, women with early menopause had worse coronary heart disease and stroke-free survival (log rank P = 0.008 and P = 0.0158). In models adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, Multi-ethnic Study Atherosclerosis site, and traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors, this risk for coronary heart disease and stroke remained (hazard ratio, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.17-3.70; and hazard ratio, 2.19; 95% CI, 1.11-4.32, respectively). Early menopause is positively associated with coronary heart disease and stroke in a multiethnic cohort, independent of traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors.

              Menopause and Metabolic Syndrome in Tunisian Women

              Objectives. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of menopausal status on the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Tunisian women. Methods. We analyzed a total of 2680 women aged between 35 and 70 years. Blood pressure, anthropometric indices, fasting glucose, and lipid profile were measured. The MetS was assessed by the modified NCEP-ATPIII definition. Results. The mean values of waist circumference, blood pressure, plasma lipids, and fasting glucose were significantly higher in postmenopausal than in premenopausal women, a difference that was no longer present when adjusting for age. Except for hypertriglyceridaemia, the frequency of central obesity, hyperglycemia, high blood pressure, and high total cholesterol was significantly higher in postmenopausal than in premenopausal women. After adjusting for age, the significance persisted only for hyperglycemia. The overall prevalence of MetS was 35.9%, higher in postmenopausal (45.7% versus 25.6%) than in premenopausal women. A binary logistic regression analysis showed that menopause was independently associated with MetS (OR = 1.41, 95% CI 1.10–1.82) after adjusting for age, residence area, marital status, family history of cardiovascular disease, education level, and occupation. Conclusions. The present study provides evidence that the MetS is highly prevalent in this group of women. Menopause can be a predictor of MetS independent of age in Tunisian women.
