Abstract
Investigations on the relationship between mensU'ual cycle length and metabolic and cat'diovasculat" risk have suggested that women with very long cycles have higher risks, including the development of adult-onset diabetes. No data at'e available which compat'e categories of cycle length within a normal range (25-31 days), with specific evaluation of blood lipids. Serum total cholesterol (CHOL), HDL-cholesterol (HDL), LDL-cholesterol (LDL) and Tryglicetide (TG) have been determined in 5,062 pat'ticipants to the PROGETTO ATENA, a population-based cohort study which aims to investigate the causes of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular, in women, aged 30-69, living in the meu'opolitan area of Naples, Southern Italy. The variable cycle length refers to the chat'actetistics of the mensU'ual cycles between age 30 and 40, recalled by each participant. Lipids have been measured in fasting conditions at baseline as well as anthropomeU'y. According to the mensU'ual cycle length dut'ing adult life, women observed in this Meditmvanean cohort have different pattern of metabolic risk due to blood lipids as shown by logistic data: women with long normal mensu'ual cycles have an higher probability of having blood u'iglycerides above 116 mg/dl (higher population tertile) OR = 1,205 (I.C. 95% 1,013-1,433) Interestingly, TG appear" to increase with increasing number of days of the mensU'ual cycles. The relationship between the underlined causes for both high-normal cycle length and TG deserves fut'ther investigation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
