AB Postmenopausal aging has become relevant for understanding health during the transitionlife stages-the aging process being involved in several disturbances of the human condition.The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between postmenopausal aging and sociodemographic, anthropometric, body composition, nutritional, and biochemical (i.e., protein andlipid profiles, phosphorous-calcium metabolism, and antioxidant status) factors in postmenopausalwomen. This cross-sectional study enrolled 78 healthy postmenopausal women (44-76 years). Theanthropometrical data showed no differences by age. Biochemical parameters, especially thoseinvolved in the protein and phosphorous-calcium metabolism, were influenced by age in our cohortof postmenopausal women. In contrast, no associations were found when considering lipid andantioxidant parameters. Height, fiber intake, blood glucose, protein profile and phosphorous-calciummetabolism markers seem to be the most affected nutritional-related factors by age in our cohort ofhealthy postmenopausal women. Primary prevention strategies focused on parameters at risk ofdisruption with postmenopausal aging are necessary to ensure the quality of life in older ages.
