As women age, maintaining a consistent weight becomes more challenging, typically starting a few years before menopause during perimenopause. The average rate of weight gain is around 1.5 pounds per year throughout the 50s. While menopause weight gain is prevalent, proactive measures can minimize its impact through healthy lifestyle choices.
Beyond cosmetic concerns, menopause weight gain poses health risks, including:
Respiratory issues
Cardiovascular diseases
Type 2 diabetes
Elevated risk of specific cancers
