The purpose of the study was to determine symptoms related to menopausal status, and their prevalence in two subgroups of the Slovak women divided on the basis of the WHO (1996) definition as pre- and postmenopausal. Two hundred and three women from different regions (Dubnica nad Váhom, Pezinok, Nové Zámky a Bratislava), of non-clinical population, ranging in age betwee n 40 and 59 years were investigated in crosssectional survey. Several aspects of the Menopause-Specific Questionnaire (Kaczmarek, 2000) were examined and compared between the two subgroups of women. Statistical analysis was accomplished with SPSS software (Version 17.0 for Windows) and graphical processing with Excel 2007. The results showed significant differences in issues related to menopausal symptoms, some psychological aspects, intellectual and physical activities between two subgroups of women. Particularly, in the items indicated bothers in night sweats (p < 0.05), ache in muscles and joints (p < 0.01), noticed pins and needles in hands and feet (p < 0.05), vaginal dryness during intercourse (p < 0.05), always with higher mean values (i.e. undesirable) in the postmenopausal women. Higher percentage of the premenopausal women had better sleep, they are more active in intellectual a and physical activities (not specified), than the postmenopausal women. Here we present the first data examining menopausal symptoms in non-clinical sample of women from Slovakia.

The influence of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) genotypes on plasma lipid levels and interaction with other environmental factors was determined in two Slovakian population samples; 146 Romany and 351 Slovak individuals. The two samples differ significantly in the distribution of E3/3 genotypes (p<0.014) and E3/2 (p<0.035). Analysis of variance did not reveal any significant effect of the ApoE genotypes on any of the plasma lipid levels in the Romany individuals. In the Slovak sample the variation in plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels was significantly associated with the ApoE genotypes (p=0.012). We detected decreased LDL-C concentrations in males with E2 genotype when compared with E3 and E4 carriers (p=0.008). Further, the E2 genotype was found to be associated with high triglycerides levels (p=0.009). The ethnic samples differ significantly in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and in the case of males of diabetes. Both the Romany and the Slovak males can be considered as having a more atherogenic profile compared with the females.
