Aim of the study was to understand the relationship of menopausal status with BMI and blood pressure. The study area was selected through multistage sampling technique covering six districts of West Bengal, a state located at the eastern part of India. 1400 participants were selected for the study. The participants were divided into four groups on the basis of menopausal status: early and late perimenopausal; early and late postmenopausal. Results shows that menopausal status was significantly associated with Body Mass Index (BMI) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), after controlling the effect of covariates such as participants' age, reproductive behavior, diet and addiction to tobacco use
