For many year medical professional known that menopause may risk to heart disease. But, don’t know for sure why this happening.
Now current research found that when women got older (almost average 50 years old or between 40-60 years old), the cholesterol levels jumps up due menopause arousal.
Karen A. Matthews, Ph.D., professor of psychiatry and epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh, said, “as they approach menopause, many women show a very striking increase in cholesterol levels, which in turn increase risk for later heart disease.”
The research involving 1,054 women in US when they have menopause period for more than 10 years.
Every single year the researchers analyzed risk factors to the patients for blood pressure, cholesterol, and other heart disease such as blood glucose and insulin.
From the subject risk factors, the changeable in cholesterol levels were the most surprised.
Dr. Vera Bittner, a professor of medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, one of colleagues of Dr Matthew said, “the jumps in cholesterol reported in the study could definitely have an impact on women’s health. The changes don’t look large, but given that the typical woman lives several decades after menopause, any adverse change become cumulative over time. If somebody had cholesterol levels at the lower ranges of normal; the small change may not make difference, but if somebody risk factors were already bolderline in several categories; this increase may tip them over the edge and put them in a risk category where treatment may be beneficial.”
Based on the above study, women should be care about their cholesterol levels before or due her menopause period comming.
Smoking, food, maintain to proportional weight, and exercising are important to make sure the cholesterol in moderate level.
