[Metabolic syndrome and decreased bone mineral density in climacteric women].

The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of insulin resistance on the development of syndrome of osteopenia. The case-control study included 124 women with osteopenia and osteoporosis of the distal forearm segment diagnosed by X-ray densitometry in accordance with the WHO criteria (DTX 200). One group of the patients comprised 62 women with metabolic syndrome (MS) by the criteria of NCPE ATP III.

[Frequency of diagnosis of postmenopausal osteoporosis of the spine, distant radius and extravertebral fractures in women with normal body mass, overweight and obesity].

Aim: To assess features and peculiarities of postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP) in women with normal body mass, overweight and obesity.

Material And Methods: Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry of the lumbal spine (Lunar DPX) and distal radius X-ray absorptiometry (DTX 200) were performed during cross-section study of 730 symptomatic postmenopausal women.

Results: OP was diagnosed in 253 (34.

[The evaluation of cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women with osteopenia].

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of the most important cardiovascular risk factors in postmenopausal women in correlation with bone mineral density (BMD). A hundred and fifty postmenopausal women were included in a case control study. The subjects were distributed into three equal groups: normal bone mass; osteopenia; non-complicated osteoporosis.

[Osteoarthrosis of the knee joints in climacteric women with excessive body weight or obesity].

The purpose of the study was to evaluate body weight (BW) effect on the frequency and clinical manifestations of knee joint osteoarthrosis (KJOA) in climacteric women with excessive BW or obesity. The subjects of this case control study were divided into three groups: group 1 consisted of 283 climacteric women with normal BW; group 2 consisted of 283 women with excessive BW; 283 obese women constituted group 3. All the three groups were comparable by age and menopause duration.

[Magnesium deficit in climacteric women].

The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of magnesium deficit (MD) in climacteric women and its effect on the severity of climacteric syndrome (CS). This cross-sectional study included 165 women with typical CS manifestations. Patients with arterial hypertension were excluded.

[Osteopenia and osteoporosis of the distal forearm in menopausal females].

Aim: To estimate the frequency of decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in the distal forearm of the females visiting a specialized city consultative center for menopausal pathology, by using dual energy X-ray absorptiomentry (DEX4) and to assess risk factors for osteoporosis.

Materials And Methods: The cross-sectional study included 681 females (mean age 54.8 +/- 5.

[Incidence of thyroid and cardiovascular diseases in menopausal females].

The purpose of the study was to estimate the incidence of thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases in perimenopausal females. The cross-sectional study covered 554 females (mean age 52.6±6.

[Hyperinsulinemia and insulin-resistance in climacteric women with metabolic syndrome].

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the peculiarities of carbohydrate and lipid dysmetabolism in climacteric women with metabolic syndrome (MS). The subjects of this case-control study were 124 women. The main group consisted of 62 women with MS according to A TP III classification; the control group included 62 women without MS.

[Arterial hypertension, disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in obese perimenopausal females].

Aim: To examine prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH), disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in females with obesity in perimenopause.

Material And Methods: One-stage trial enrolled 358 obese females in menopause seeking advice in the city center for health and family planning in Ekaterinburg (mean age 50.5 +/- 5.
