These results were compared as presence of metabolic syndrome and menopausal status. Differences of the components of metabolic syndrome as the menopausal status and occurrences of metabolic syndrome as the age and the menopausal status are investigated. Results: In premenopausal and postmenopausal women, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome were 8.69% and 21.85%, respectively. More body weight, high body mass index and cholesterol were checked in women who have metabolic syndrome irrespective of menopausal status. Low high density lipoprotein was most prominent component of metabolic syndrome irrespective of menopausal status. Hypertension and high blood sugar were showed meaningful proportions in postmenopausal women. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was unrelated to the menopausal status by regressively analyze, but meaningfully increased related to aging.
