Background/Aims: The prevalence of degenerative diseases in menopausal age women has reached 54% in 2013 and continues to increase every year. This study aimed to analyze the relationship of body mass index, waist circumference, percent body fat with lipid profile and oxidative stress markers in menopausal women. Methods: This research used total subjects 8 menopausal age women in Ciherang village, Dramaga sub-district, Bogor, West Java, Indonesia. Data analysis was using Microsoft Excel and SPSS 23 software. Results: The age of the subject was 57 ± 4.6 years (range 50–60 years). The mean BMI was 27.5 ± 2.1 kg/ m2. The mean waist circumference was 90.8 ± 7.2 cm, and percent body fat was 35.6 ± 3.3%. The mean cholesterol, TG, HDL and LDL levels respectively were 186.4 mg/dl, 119.8 mg/dl, 55.5 mg/dl and 107 mg/dl. The average MDA and SOD were 155.5 ng/ml and 27.55 U/ml. Conclusion: There was a significant positive correlation between body mass index and body fat percent, cholesterol level, serum LDL and serum MDA levels; and significant negative correlation between body mass index and body fat percent with serum SOD levels.
