Menopause obesity

Introduction The life of menopausal women tends to be stable, and the current economic situation is gradually improving, the living standards are increasing, the daily labor is reduced, the energy consumption is reduced, the rest time is increased, the eating conditions are getting better and better, the movement is limited, and the calorie consumption is reduced. Some people become highly obese, and these factors can cause menopausal obesity. The increase of age has a great impact on obesity. Obese middle-aged and elderly women are often prone to movement disorders, joint lesions and low back pain. Limited exercise, reduced calorie consumption, and some of them become highly obese, resulting in fatty liver, hypertension and so on.

Cause

Causes:

As the activity decreases with age, the body's energy consumption is also reduced. Eating habits such as eating sweets can easily lead to overnutrition, ovarian dysfunction, changes in hormone metabolism, fat metabolism, and the formation of hypertension. Under the combined effect of the above factors, almost all menopausal and menopausal women have varying degrees of obesity. Obesity, which continues to develop from menopause, accounts for the vast majority, and after entering menopause, obesity accounts for about 8% of female obesity.

1. Obesity = (actual weight - standard weight) ÷ standard weight × ± 100%

10% overweight is overweight, 20% is mildly obese, 30% is moderately obese, and 50% is severely obese.

2, endocrine examination: estrogen levels decreased.

3, blood lipid test: not enough estrogen involved in lipid metabolism, so it is fat. Cholesterol triglycerides will gradually increase.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of menopausal obesity:

1. Simple obesity: the metabolism of substances in the body is slow, and the speed of substance synthesis is greater than the rate of decomposition.

Second, pathological obesity: adrenal hyperfunction, excessive secretion of cortisol.

1. Pancreatic origin: Excessive insulin secretion, decreased metabolic rate, decreased fat decomposition and increased synthesis.

2, decreased sexual function: cerebral obesity, accompanied by loss of sexual function, or loss of libido.

3, pituitary: pituitary lesions, leading to excessive secretion of growth hormone in the anterior pituitary.

4, hypothyroidism: hypothyroidism.

5, drug-induced: caused by the side effects of drugs, such as caused by adrenocortical hormone drugs.
