The menopause and metabolic syndrome X
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
The rise in abdominal visceral fat and the increase in resistance to insulin in postmenopausal women are main factors in the development of metabolic syndrome X, defined as a group of clinical changes which include obesity, hyperglycaemic disorders, hypertension and dyslipidaemia. All of these disorders increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in women over the age of 55 in Western countries. Endogenous oestrogen seems to be a cardioprotector and the oestrogen deficiency that occurs during the menopause is associated with a number of metabolic changes which increase the cardiovascular risk. This work addresses the main topics related to metabolic syndrome X as well as its treatment and the impact it has on lifestyle during the menopause.
