r1: Total testosterone correlation, r2: Free testosterone index correlation. Among the post-menopausal women with CAD, a significant positive correlation was found between total testosterone and free testosterone index with waist circumference, W/H ratio, serum triglyceride levels, Non-HDL-C, hs-CRP, and CIMT. The negative correlation of significance was found between total testosterone and free testosterone index with HDL-C levels. The linear regression analysis showed association between total testosterone and free testosterone index with waist circumference, W/H ratio, serum triglyceride levels, Non-HDL-C, hsCRP, and CIMT. (P<0.01). No such correlations were seen among the controls
