    Menopause: a cardiometabolic transition - 8 month(s) ago

    Menopause is often a turning point for women’s health worldwide. Increasing knowledge from experimental data and clinical studies indicates that cardiometabolic changes can manifest at the menopausal transition, superimposing the effect of ageing onto the risk of cardiovascular disease. The menopausal transition is associated with an increase in fat mass (predominantly in the truncal region), an increase in insulin resistance, dyslipidaemia, and endothelial dysfunction. Exposure to endogenous oestrogen during the reproductive years provides women with protection against cardiovascular disease, which is lost around 10 years after the onset of menopause.

    Metabolic health and cardiometabolic risk clusters: implications for prediction, prevention, and treatment - 8 month(s) ago

    Among 20 leading global risk factors for years of life lost in 2040, reference forecasts point to three metabolic risksā€”high blood pressure, high BMI, and high fasting plasma glucoseā€”as being the top risk variables. Building upon these and other risk factors, the concept of metabolic health is attracting much attention in the scientific community. It focuses on the aggregation of important risk factors, which allows the identification of subphenotypes, such as people with metabolically unhealthy normal weight or metabolically healthy obesity, who strongly differ in their risk of cardiometabolic diseases.

      The value of the aggregation of #cardiometabolic #risk factors, as defined by #metabolic health and cardiometabolic risk #clusters, for the prediction, prevention, and treatment of cardiometabolic disease is an ongoing debate https://t.co/Q5NFbaZCqR #diabetes #obesity https://t.co/2H90NcifyQ
