Abstract: The transition from pre-menopause to menopause is marked by significant physiological changes, including alterations in iron metabolism, protein synthesis, and body composition. This study was carried out to determine the level of serum ferritin, albumin, and total protein in premenopausal and menopausal women in Okofia, Nnewi. The study was conducted among ninety women (45 premenopausal and 45 menopausal). The age range for premenopausal and menopausal women was 18-49 and 50-75 years respectively. The serum ferritin, albumin, and total protein levels were evaluated. Using standard procedures results were obtained and subjected to statistical analysis. Results indicated a significantly higher mean ferritin level in the menopausal group (200.36 ± 177.39) (ng/mL) compared to the premenopausal group (87.71 ± 104.84) (ng/mL) (p
