Obesity can impact menopause by affecting bone density, fracture risk, and symptom severity. Insulin levels and fat distribution play key roles in this relationship. While obesity may have some positive effects on bone health in menopause, it can worsen symptoms and overall health outcomes. Understanding the interplay between obesity and menopause is crucial for managing women's health during this phase of life.

The low estrogen levels in the late stages of menopause may also impair the function of leptin neuropeptide Y, hormones that control fullness and appetite. Therefore, perimenopause who have low estrogen levels may be driven to eat more calories and store more fat. Obese women have exacerbated VMS. This association is likely due to the insulating effects of adipose tissue. leptin and and hormones that control fullness and Therefore, women in the late stages of who have low estrogen levels may be women in the late stages of This 6 6- -Almost every female attending the menopause clinic complains that either the menopause or taking HRT, Almost every female attending the menopause clinic complains that either the menopause or taking HRT, has caused them to put on weight. has caused them to put on weight.
