WHO estimated that there would be a rapid increment in prevalence of cardiovascular related diseases in both sexes especially in South East Asia Pacific Region. Peri and post menopausal women are among the high risk group to develop cardiovascular diseases, yet most of this group of women have inaccurate perception regarding their risk of getting the cardiovascular diseases. The inaccurate perception of cardiovascular risk could be either underestimation or overestimation of the cardiovascular risk. The inaccurate perception of cardiovascular risk might lead to reduce health concern and non-optimize therapeutic lifestyle changes. Objective : This study was conducted to determine accuracy of self-perception on cardiovascular risk in comparison with actual cardiovascular risk among peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women attending primary care clinic of a university hospital as well as to identify the associated factors for underestimation and overestimation of cardiovascular risk. Methodology : A cross sectional study was performed on 292 peri and post- menopausal women age 48 years and above who attend KRK, in between May till August 2015.
