Abstract :
Introduction: Women continue to have a high cardiovascular mortality than men in the past 20 years which is underestimated. Cardiovascular disease is clearly polyfactorial, and data on endogenous hormones may improve our prediction of risk. The endocrine environment in women is complex and changes with chronology. So this study becomes a need in women of middle age with objectives-
1. To analyse the level and association of serum Estradiol, Testosterone, SHBG, DHEA with lipid profile.
2. To assess the cardiovascular risk in adult women with respect to their androgenic status.
Materials and Method: A cross-sectional study from 120 volunteered adult women of age between 20-40years selected and blood collected for biochemical assay of serum Estradiol, Testosterone, Steroid Hormone Binding Globulin, Dehydroepiandrosterone and lipid profile by standard methods. All quantitative data obtained were analysed with a set statistical significance at p
