Women initially aged 38, 46, 50 and 54 who participated in a population study were followed-up longitudinally with respect to changes of blood pressure, serum lipids [factors which show an association with risk for ischemic heart disease] and body weight in relation to changed or unchanged menstrual status during a 6-yr period. Women initially aged 46 were especially suitable for obtaining relevant data. Those women who stopped menstruating during the period showed increased serum cholesterol and serum triglyceride values; this was less marked in women with unchanged menstrual status. Weight gain was observed in women who were premenopausal throughout the follow-up period and in women who stopped menstruating, but not in women who were already postmenopausal at entry to the study. Blood pressures tended to increase more in the groups of women with no change of menstrual status than in those women who became postmenopausal during the period. The results from our longitudinal study were mostly in agreement with those from our cross-sectional studies.
