dc.description.abstractAim: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ultrasonographic carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) and visceral fat thickness (VFT) and an endometrial thickness (ET) of more than 5 mm in postmenopausal women. Methods: C-IMT, VFT, and ET measurements were performed in 63 postmenopausal women using ultrasonography. The relationships between ultrasonographic data and demographic data, anthropometric measurements, such as waist circumference, metabolic syndrome parameters, and insulin resistance were examined. Moreover, the role of VFT and C-IMT in predicting an ET of more than 5 mm was investigated. Results: Only the C-IMT was higher in the ultrasonographic measurements of women with an ET >5 mm (p =0.03). Insulin resistance was also significantly higher in these women (p = 0.03). ET showed a positive correlation with VFT and body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.286, p = 0.02 and r = 0.249, p = 0.04), and C-IMT showed a positive correlation with age, pregnancy, parity, and time since menopause (p<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that high-C-IMT levels were associated with an ET >5 mm (p = 0.04).Conclusions: There was a positive correlation between the ultrasonographic measures of VFT and ET, and high- C-IMT levels were independently associated with an ET>5 mm. Thus, C-IMT may be a predictor of pathologic ET in the postmenopausal period.
