Energy expenditure from physical activity and the metabolic risk profile at menopause

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted, which was aimed to assess the relationship between daily energy expenditure from moderate to intense physical activity and several metabolic parameters in postmenopausal women not receiving hormone therapy and to verify whether these associations are independent of the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue (AT). The result showed that higher engagement in physical activity is associated with a lower body mass index (BMI) and visceral AT accumulation and with a healthier metabolic profile in postmenopausal women.
