Presented by the Obesity Medicine Association in partnership with the Gerontological Society of America
Menopause is associated with significant metabolic changes that can complicate weight management and overall health in midlife women. This session offers a practical overview of how hormonal shifts influence fat distribution, muscle mass, and insulin sensitivity, and explores the implications for cardiometabolic risk. Participants will review the role of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and examine evidence-based obesity treatment strategies, including lifestyle interventions and modern anti-obesity medications, tailored to women navigating the menopausal transition.
