Subjects: 59 natural menopausal women and 59 women aged 25-39 years old (the control group). Method: cross-sectional surveys. Results: the menopausal women who had lower height and serum estradiol while higher 8MI, waist to hip ratio, blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides in comparision with the control group (p<0.01-0.001); Beta-estradiol and the weight, BMI, waist to hip ratio, blood pressure, LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglycerides of menopausal women have a linear relationship. Conclusion: in menopausal women, there are the change some morphological, functional indices and these indices have a linear relationship with beta-estradiol.
