Abstract:Importance
Menopause is an integral part of women's health, and studies in high-income countries have shown an increase in cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk factors in postmenopausal compared with premenopausal women. However, to date, no study has combined and assessed such studies across low- and middle-income countries. This would better inform early monitoring and intervention strategies for reducing CMD risk factor levels in midlife women in these regions.
