Adiposity and the menopausal transition
Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am.
2011 Sep.
Abstract
This review summarizes the published literature on the potentially circular relationship between adiposity and the menopause. Although data are limited, current information suggests there are substantial effects of obesity and adiposity on the magnitude of hormone changes experienced during the transition, as well as on the risks of chronic disease resulting from the menopause transition. However, evidence regarding the reverse, namely, effects of the menopause transition and its associated hormone changes on weight gain and redistribution of body fat, are inconclusive.
