Structural equation model analysis for the evaluation of factors associated with overweight and obesity in menopausal women in RaNCD cohort study

Conclusions: The direct and indirect effects of well-known risk factors associated with overweight and obesity were found to be different in pre/perimenopausal and menopausal groups. Some risk factors showed stronger effects among menopausal women compared with the pre/perimenopausal women. Physical activity and healthy dietary pattern had a mediator impact in the two study groups.
