This study was designed to investigate whether black women who underwent hysterectomy only (n = 59) or hysterectomy plus bilateral oophorectomy (n=25) were at increased risk of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis compared with black women who underwent natural menopause (n = 54). The effects of both surgery and menopausal status were evaluated.
