Metabolic disturbances in menopause

Menopause maybe associated with several short, medium and long-term consequences. Metabolic disturbances represent a significant negative effect of the progressive reduction of estradiol as well as of the increased androgens/estrogens ratio occurring during perimenopause (1). Besides, other hormonal (such as, hypercortisolism and/or altered thyroid function) or non-hormonal (family hystory, dietary habits, smoking, alcohol consumption, etc.) factors, could negatively impact on metabolism in an individualized manner.
