摘要：Introduction and objective. There is a significantly higher risk of lipid disorders occurrence, including atherogenic
dyslipidemia in women after menopause than it is in general population. The aim of the work was to investigate the correlation
between health behaviours and the occurrence of lipid disorders in women after menopause working in agriculture.
Material and methods. The study was conducted in years 2015–2016 and included 843 post-menopausal women working
in agriculture. The following were used: a questionnaire including socio-demographic data, laboratory lipid tests, inventory
of health behaviours. The following were estimated: logistic regression models for serum lipids concentration versus
frequency of health behaviours in the examined women.
Results. Adverse lipid profile was found in over a half of post-menopausal women working in agriculture, whereas the
frequency of health behaviours were estimated at the average level, although the frequency of correct eating habits and
health practices was significantly lower than preventive behaviours and positive psychological attitudes. A correlation
was found between the frequency of health behaviours and the occurrence of lipid disorders in women after menopause
working in agriculture: more frequent health practices co-existed with the lower concentration of total cholesterol and
a higher concentration of HDL-cholesterol, more frequent preventive behaviours co-existed with lower concentration of
LDL-cholesterol. Women with higher concentration of triglycerides undertook pro-health practices relatively more often.
Conclusions. The study revealed a high prevalence of lipid disorders in postmenopausal women working in agriculture.
More effective health education programmes are necessary in the area of reduction the risk factors of CVD in the population
of women working in agriculture.
