We will find that most women are prone to obesity as soon as they reach middle age. Especially in menopause, weight gain is almost inevitable. In fact, the biggest factor leading to the weight gain of menopausal women is the change of hormone levels in the body. The sharp drop of estrogen level in menopause will change the distribution of body fat, lead to abdominal fat accumulation, chest and hip fat reduction, and lead to body deformation.

Abdominal fat accumulation is the most dangerous, which will increase the incidence of diabetes, fatty liver, hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. However, the sharp drop in estrogen levels leads to body deformation, from pear shape to apple shape. Even if the weight remains the same, the whole body will look fat. Weight gain and weight gain may also be caused by the following factors: decreased muscle mass. With the increase of age, the proportion of muscle and fat in the body will decrease. Even if the weight remains the same, the size of the body will change. At the same time, the metabolic rate decreases and the demand for calories decreases, but the calorie intake rarely changes, which leads to the increase of adipose tissue volume and obesity.

With the change of progesterone level, in addition to the change of estrogen level in menopause, progesterone level will also decrease. The data show that progesterone can combine with estrogen and increase the decomposition of fat, while the level of both will decrease, the decomposition of fat will decrease and the accumulation of subcutaneous fat will increase.

In short, menopausal women tend to gain weight, mainly due to physiological reasons and bad living habits. And they don't want to control their weight, which requires menopausal women to prevent obesity. Besides good diet control, physical exercise is also essential. On this basis, it is not a problem for them to maintain a good attitude and a stable weight.
