Abstract
Objective: Transition to menopause has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), attributed mainly to atherogenic dyslipidemia. Whether lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], an independent cardiovascular risk factor, also contributes to menopause-associated CVD has not yet been clarified. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate and meta-analyze the best available evidence regarding the effect of menopause on Lp(a) concentrations.
