Popis: Introduction: Metabolic Syndrome (MS) identifies a group of metabolic disorders that includes glucose intolerance, central obesity, hypertension and dyslipidaemia that place the affected individual at exaggerated risk for developing disorder, in addition as exaggerated mortality from all causes. Aim: To evaluate serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels and to determine the correlation between serum concentrations of TSH with components of MS among postmenopausal women with MS. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted for the period of four months on 100 postmenopausal women between 45-65 years who attended Outpatient Department (OPD) of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Mandya, Karnataka, India. A fasting blood sample was collected from all the subjects, serum was used for estimating Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), Lipid profile, and Serum TSH. Results were presented on Mean±SD (Standard Deviation) (Min-Max) and in Number (%). For the comparison of means, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test was used. Correlation was examined by determining Pearson correlation coefficient (r-value). A p-value
