Quantum leap of non-communicable diseases becoming a challenging dilemma among the post -menopausal women especially in developing countries like India where most of the women are suffering from metabolic syndrome, which is a crew of risk factors that upsurge the risk of developing diabetes and cardio-vascular diseases. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to find out the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and associated risk factors among the post-menopausal women of North India for an early screening.It was a cross sectional study of urban women, a total of 382 subjects aged above 45 years was selected using stratified random sampling. The study avails a standardized questionnaire which elicits the data regarding the demographic profile and biochemical parameter. The result shows that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the post-menopausal was 41.5 per cent. Most of respondent were adopting three meal dietary pattern followed by four, six, two, respectively. Dietary habits and physical inactivity resulting from agile improvements in living condition may be the causes for the hike. Thus, it can be concluded that metabolic syndrome is an emerging problem among post-menopausal women.Keywords

The micronutrient Iodine is essential throughout life especially during fetal brain development. The deficiency of which is deemed the single most important cause of preventable mental retardation. Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) is manifested in infancy and childhood, which are primarily influenced by low iodine levels in pregnancy. Using iodised salt is a key to ensure elimination of IDD, for which the knowledge and awareness of iodised salt are of prime importance. The study was aimed to determine the knowledge of iodine nutrition and its association with awareness and usage of iodised salt among pregnant women living in eastern UP. Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted through random sampling on 200 pregnant women at the regional women’s hospital, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. A pre-tested interview schedule was used to assess knowledge. Scores and descriptive statistics were analyzed, bivariate analyses were employed to describe and determine the association among variables. Mean age of respondents was 25.23 ±3.75. The majority of the population belonged to the lower middle (38%) and upper lower class (36%). Nearly half had heard of the nutrient ‘Iodine’ and 37% self-reported usage of iodised salt whereas usage as per brand was 81%. The mean knowledge score was 1.53. Three-fourths of the respondents (74.5%) had a low level of knowledge and a quarter of the respondents (25.5%) had a high level of knowledge. These scores were significantly associated with socioeconomic status, usage of iodised salt (both self-reported and brand used) and with an awareness of iodine as an essential nutrient and its deficiencies (p<0.05). The study shows a significant disparity between knowledge of iodised salt, its use and actual consumption, which can be attributed to successful Universal Salt Iodisation; however, the disparity highlights the need for strategic awareness schemes in women of reproductive age.Keywords
