Postmenopausal Women With Excess Belly Fat At Higher Risk For Premature Death

Description

Having excess belly fat could be a life or death condition for women who've reached menopause. According to UPI, postmenopausal women with a body mass index between 18.5 and 24.9 inches with a high waist circumference are at risk. Women with a waist measurement of 88 cm (34.64 in.) have a higher risk of dying compared to those with normal BMI and no belly fat. The new research aligns with previous studies that show belly fat is linked to higher risks of cardiovascular disease, which can lead to death. Belly fat can also lead to insulin resistance, which past studies have linked to increased cancer risks.
