Abstract :Objectives: In this study, we aimed to reveal the extent to which they meet their daily energy and nutrient needs and the relationship with the development of anemia by examining the dietary records of women in the premenopausal and postmenopausal periods. Material and Methods: Obese women participating in the study were divided into two groups according to premenopause insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(36-45 years old); and postmenopause insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(46-73 years old);. Anthropometric measurements and nutritional status were evaluated. Serum glucose, BUN, creatinine, lipid profile, AST/ALT, iron, ferritin, vitamin B12, TSH, free T4, vitamin D and hemogram parameters of all participants were recorded. Results: The waist circumference of 67.5% of the women in the premenopausal group and 75% of the women in the postmenopausal group were above 88 cm. The BUN and HDL levels of premenopausal women were found to be lower than those in the postmenopausal period insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BUN:10.6±3.51 vs 15.06±4.96 mg/dL and HDL:54.1±9.1 vs 59.3±13.5 m/dL, P<0.05, respectively);. Premenopausal women had lower blood ferritin levels and higher total-iron binding capacity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(TIBC); compared to postmenopausal women insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ferritin:15.8±11.5 ng/mL vs 33.5±25.4 and TIBC:311.12±61.7 vs 287.50±41.93 μg/dL; P<0.05);. One of the important results of the study was the higher levels for vitamin D, AST and ALT in women in the post-menopausal period insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.05);. Conclusion: It was determined that obese women in the premenopausal period did not receive enough iron and vitamin D to meet their needs. For this reason, daily dietary consumption should be adjusted accordingly, and lifestyle changes should be made to acquire healthy eating habits.
