Material and Methods:100 healthy women were divided into 2 groups-Control group A (Premenopausal) and Study group B (Postmenopausal).The parasympathetic function tests included the Heart rate response to standing (30:15 RATIO), Heart rate variation during deep breathing(E:I RATIO), Heart rate response to Valsalva Maneuver (VM RATIO) and the sympathetic function tests-Blood pressure response to the Isometric handgrip (DBPΔ) and the Blood pressure response to standing (SBPΔ) .Results:There is statistically significant decrease in 30:15 ratio, whereas the results of E:I ratio and Valsalva maneuver test did not show any significant result. The sympathetic function tests significantly increased in postmenopausal women when compared with premenopausal women.
