Chi square analysis was performed to compare categorical variables among pre- and postmenopausal T2DM women. Values are presented as mean ± SD. was considered statistically significant ( values of significant variables are in bold print). : Chi square; df: degree of freedom; BMI: body mass index; WHR: waist to hip ratio; WHtR: waist to height ratio; HTN: hypertension; Normotension: systolic pressure (<120 mmHg); Pre-HTN: systolic pressure (120–139 mmHg); Stage 1: systolic pressure (140–159 mmHg); Stage 2: systolic pressure (>160 mmHg).
