Nontraditional Lipid Parameters as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Nepalese Women.

Background: The use of nontraditional lipid parameters for assessing clinical conditions is emerging; however, no study has identified thresholds for those parameters for the identification of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The present study aimed to establish the thresholds of nontraditional lipid parameters and test its ability to identify CVD risk factors.

Methodology: A cross-sectional study in women ( = 369, age: 46 ± 13 years, body mass index (BMI): 26.

Effect of menstrual status on lipid profile: A cross-sectional study in a tertiary care hospital in Nepal.

The ovarian follicular cell's degradation and subsequent decrease in the synthesis of estrogen results in the decreased cardiovascular protection. As a result, the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) increases in postmenopausal women and is characterized by change in lipid profile. This study sought to ascertain the extent of the impact that menstrual status might have on lipid profiles among premenopausal and postmenopausal women.
