About
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of menopause on obesity, energy balance, and insulin in postmenopausal, obese women.
Full description
The effect of menopause on body composition and cardiovascular risk in healthy caucasian women has been the subject of much study. In contrast, there are few data available on menopause in African-American women. Since menopause is associated with potentially preventable health risks in women, this proposal is aimed at characterizing the perimenopausal period in terms of body fat, energy balance, and insulin action in both caucasian and African-American women.
