Menopause is related with metabolic changes that tend to produce an increase in corporal weight. Corporal fat, that in the 20s is 26%, increases to 33% at 40, and 43% at 50. |
| A sedentary life will accelerate this process. Many women experiment an increase in weight while others experience modifications in the distribution of fat without major changes in weight. Aside from aesthetic modifications, this can imply an increase in cardiovascular risk and the manifestation of diabetes | |
