Description
Aim: Research on the alterations in blood pressure between postmenopausal and premenopausal women. Materials and Methods: The physiology department of SKMCH in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India, conducted this cross-sectional research. Women of a comparable height and weight who were either postmenopausal or premenopausal were surveyed for this study. Fifty women who had gone through menopause and fifty women who were still in their menstrual periods were chosen after extensive medical histories were taken in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A convenience sample was used. Fifty naturally menopausal women, ranging in age from 50 to 55, with a healthy weight (60 to 65 kg) and a height (155 to 157.5 cm), were chosen for the study. Fifty healthy, premenopausal women (35–40 years old) with normal weight and height were chosen for the study. All of the ladies had regular menstrual cycles. Results: The postmenopausal group had a resting pulse rate of 83.16 ±1.45 beats/min, whereas the premenopausal group had 80.76 ± 2.32 beat Resting pulse rate differed more across groups statistically. The postmenopausal group had a systolic blood pressure of 120.54 ± 2.56 mm Hg, whereas the premenopausal group had 118.45 ± 3.23 The postmenopausal group had a diastolic blood pressure of 81.65 ± 2.23 mm Hg, whereas the premenopausal group had 80.34 ± 4.02 Systolic and diastolic blood pressure differences were higher between groups. Postmenopausal women had greater pulse rate (bpm) (83.16 ±1.45), systolic blood pressure (120.54 ± 2.56), and diastolic blood pressure (81.65 ± 2.23). Conclusion: Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly greater in postmenopausal women than in premenopausal women, perhaps owing to reduced oestrogen levels that upregulate the RAS and increase plasma renin activity.
