Abstract. The total number of tested individuals is 158, aged from 22 to 76 years. They were distributed in the two sub-samples. 100 of the tested individuals were in the reproductive phase (33 ± 11 years), and 58 in menopause (59 ± 17 years). For the determination of the basic statistics of the tested groups, the data were treated by the treatment procedures of the descriptive and variation statistics (homogeneity). For defining the statistically significant differences, the T test for independent groups was applied, while for estimating the differences for the two sub-samples the ANOVA (analysis of variance) was used. The studies cited in this paper indicate that during menopause nearly all variables that are the obesity indicators increase, while the reason for obesity cited include aging, menopause, and estrogen reduction, as well as the sedentary way of life with reduced physical activity (Tremolliers et al., 1996; Cervellati et al., 2009; Toth et al., 2000; Tchernof & Poehlman, 1998; Gurthrie et al., 1999; Pasco et al., 2012; Pavlica asset al., 2012; Munawar et al., 2012; Martins & Marinho, 2003).

RAZLIKE U INDIKATORIMA GOJAZNOSTI KOD ŽENA U REPRODUKTIVNOJ FAZI ŽIVOTA I ŽENA U MENOPAUZI
Ukupan broj ispitanica bio je 158, starosti od 22 do 76 godina. Podeljene su u dve pod-grupe. 100 ispitanica bile su u reproduktivnoj fazi (33 ± 11 godina), a 58 u menopauzi (59 ± 17 godina). Radi utvrđivanja osnovnih statističkih parametara testiranih grupa, podaci su podvrgnuti testovima deskriptivnog i varijacijskog tipa (ujednačenosti). Kako bi se definisale statistički značajne razlike, t-test za nezavisne uzorke je korišćen, dok se za procenu razlika između pod-grupa koristila ANOVA. Istraživanja citirana u ovom radu pokazala su da, tokom menopauze, skoro sve varijable koje su indikatori gojaznosti pokazuju veće vrednosti, dok se kao razlog za razvoj gojaznosti navode godine starosti, smanjenje estrogena, kao i neaktivan način života uz smanjenu fizičku aktivnost (Tremolliers et al., 1996; Cervellati et al., 2009; Toth et al., 2000; Tchernof & Poehlman, 1998; Gurthrie et al., 1999; Pasco et al., 2012; Pavlica et al., 2012; Munawar et al., 2012; Martins & Marinho, 2003).
