Climacteric period constitutes a third of a woman’s life. The longer was the period of menopause the more intensive were the signs of obesity, as well as increase of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, increase of C-reactive protein basal level. C-reactive protein is a risk factor of development of vascular diseases. Increased level of C-reactive protein was found in 74 % of women with obesity. In 30 % of women with longer menopause and more pronounced metabolic disorders, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, Type II was diagnosed, and in 42 % of hypertensive disorders were found. Timely diagnostics and correction of metabolic disorders will reduce the risk of development of cardio-vascular diseases and diabetes mellitus in postmenopausal women, improving their quality of life.
