Sr. No.	Author and year	Study design	Aim	Participants	Summary of findings
1	Mehndiratta et al. 2020 [3]	Prospective cross-sectional study	To determine whether pre-and post-menopausal women have higher rates of the MetS.	Total 200 patients	Postmenopausal women were shown to have a greater incidence of MetS.
2	Cengiz et al. 2019 [8]	Cross-sectional study	To investigate the connection between post-menopausal women's MetS and menopausal symptoms	Total 541 patients	The study came to the conclusion that the existence of MetS was linked to a number of menopausal symptoms.
3	Jeyasheela et al. 2018 [10]	Prospective cross-sectional study	To check if postmenopausal women are more likely to have the MetS.	Total 150 patients	Due to oestrogen shortage and fat redistribution, post-menopausal women have a higher incidence of MetS.
4	Marchi et al. 2017 [11]	Prospective cross-sectional study	To determine MetS and its symptoms in pre-and post-menopausal women.	Total 958 patients	In comparison to pre-menopausal women, MetS is more common in Post-menopausal women.
5	Bharath et al. 2020 [12]	Descriptive study	To determine whether MetS is more common in post-menopausal women.	Total 104 patients	Among post-menopausal women, MetS is very common.
6	Sharma et al. 2016 [13]	Cross-sectional study	To find out how common MetS is among North Indian women who are pre- and postmenopausal.	Total 350 patients	In older and obese women, the prevalence of MetS was shown to be greater.
7	Ryu et al. 2015 [14]	Cross-sectional study	To determine whether postmenopausal women's vasomotor symptoms are associated with a higher risk of developing MetS.	Total 1906 patients	Vasomotor symptoms are positively correlated with MetS.
8	Lee et al. 2011 [6]	Cross-sectional study	To ascertain the relationship between MetS and menopausal symptoms.	Total 183 women	Women with MetS are more likely to experience somatic complaints.
9	Yoldemir et al. 2012 [15]	Cross-sectional study	To find out whether post-menopausal and pre-menopausal women have more MetS than either group.	Total 180 women	In comparison to pre-menopausal women, MetS did not differed much in post-menopausal women.
10	Pandey et al. 2010 [16]	Cross-sectional study	To determine whether MetS is more common in postmenopausal women when compared to pre-menopausal women.	Total 498 women	In comparison to pre-menopausal women, MetS is more common in Post-menopausal women.
